Health Screenings
This is a guide to our off-site health screening capabilities including descriptions, definitions and possibilities for your organization.
Opportunities
Screening opportunities are abundant and require only an area of convenience to foot traffic.
Inquire within The Balanced Spine about the possibilities of your venue. The most common health screening sites for The Balanced Spine have been corporate cafes, drug stores, grocery markets, community & cultural events, employee break rooms, fitness centers, athletic events and sports equipment stores. Easy.
Scheduling the dates
Scheduling with The Balanced Spine is made easy. We will review our openings and compare with your organization’s ideal dates and schedule accordingly.
The Balanced Spine has experienced less confusion and frustration when block scheduling the screening events. An example of this would be to schedule your screening every third Saturday of the month. Another example is a rotating schedule such as alternate 3rd Tuesdays and 3rd Saturdays of the month to add variety.
It’s usually customized to the business preferences.
Length of Screenings
The typical length of a health screening is four to six hours during the height of business/employee traffic. This is customizable to the preferences of the business or organization.
We are always respectful of the business’s everyday activities or an organization’s sensitivities and will never get in the way of their services. The Balanced Spine communicates any potential situations that could interfere with day-to-day business with the organization or manager prior to the event to avoid any misunderstandings.
Keeping the key players informed
It is important to us to always keep key individuals informed.
When The Balanced Spine schedules the screening events it always has a list of these individuals on hand for communication if the situation requires it and visa- versa.
Set-Up
It is The Balanced Spine’s intention to have the smallest footprint possible in the health screening setting.
