Encourage your employees to complete a free Health Risk Appraisal (HRA). The HRA is a scientific tool that provides individuals with a report on their health risks. Individuals can take their report with them to their healthcare provider to discuss at their next visit. Employers can also request a group number. This will allow employers to receive worksite-specific aggregate reports. No individual health information will be disclosed to the employer or to Michigan Department of Community Health; any information will be in aggregate form only.
