Welcome to the Power of Prevention Toolkit

 

 

Healthy employees are an asset to any successful organization. Visits to your physician can be a key part in keeping your body and mind healthy. Your physician is responsible for your general health and needs. Physicians are there to directly help you, so if you do not see your physician for check ups then you will be missing out on ways to improve you health.

 

To address these concerns, Monterey County’s Health Promotion Partnership Employee Wellness program is providing this WorkPerks Tool Kit: The Power of Prevention.

 

This Tool Kit will help you to learn:

  • Why to have physical examinations
  • Make the most out your doctor visit
  • Health Screenings
  • Immunizations

 

This Tool Kit is in 6 Steps:

 

 

Step 1 - Take the quiz

The following quiz will help you identify the type and amount of physical activity you are getting currently. For each statement, circle the response that is closest to how you are managing your physical activity currently. Add up your score; then refer to "What do my results mean?" below.

Step 3 - Goal planner

To keep your own up-to-date medical records, fill in your health information. Take this record with you when you see your doctor. Make any changes or additions as they occur and update as necessary.

Step 4 - Handouts

Your primary care physician is responsible for your general health needs, such as periodic health screenings and immunizations, and treatment for common problems that don’t require a specialist. Professional race car drivers know that to keep their vehicles in tip-top shape and avoid breakdowns, they need to get regular oil changes and servicing. Just as cars require regular maintenance, you need regular checkups with your doctor. It’s certainly not wise to wait until you get sick.
