Last Chance For On-Campus Biometric Screenings

by | Feb 7, 2012 | Faculty, Staff

Just a reminder for those who did not participate in the biometric screenings in November, there are two more opportunities to assist the college in attaining its goal.  The first option is for faculty and staff to obtain their biometric information from a personal physician. The biometric information is height, weight, blood pressure and cholesterol and must be on a form from a physician’s office.  Once obtained, Email the form from to Katie Kicinski at kkicinsk@independenthealth.com and reference Canisius College Biometric in the subject line.

The other option is to have blood pressure and weight checked here on campus by Dennis Koch, PhD, and a representative of Independent Health.  Screenings will be conducted tomorrow (February 8) from Noon – 1:30 p.m. and 3:30 – 5:30 p.m. in the Human Resources Conference Room, no appointments needed.  Koch has volunteered to conduct these screening personally and the HIPPA protection of confidentiality will be applicable.
