Health Screening Event

Conroe ISD has teamed up with Optum ® and Quest Diagnostics Health and Wellness ® to offer you a FREE, confidential wellness screening during our Health Screening Event on Saturday, January 23, 2021, at Irons Junior High School. Screenings will begin at 7:00 a.m. and are limited to the first 300 participants. Only employees and spouses enrolled in a CISD UnitedHealthcare ® (UHC) medical plan may receive a screening.

By combining biometrics with screening results, you can assess your risk for diabetes and heart disease. Early detection can be the key to reducing those risks, so knowing your numbers is important.

Each screening takes about 15 minutes from check-in to completion and includes biometric measurements (height, weight, Body Mass Index (BMI), and blood pressure measurements) and a venipuncture blood draw. Quest Diagnostics will send you results online and by mail for HDL, LDL, total cholesterol, triglycerides, glucose, and A1C. Males age 40 and older will also receive PSA results. Be sure to also share and discuss your results with your physician.

Conroe ISD is excited to partner with the Gulf Coast Regional Blood Center at the health screening event this year! We will be hosting a mobile blood drive where employees and their family members can donate blood. Medical technology has provided many life-saving discoveries over the years, but there is still no substitute for blood. In a medical emergency, often the most important element is the availability of blood. Blood donations can help a variety of individuals: trauma victims, surgery patients, premature babies, individuals with anemia, cancer patients, and many more.

2. Click on an available timeslot.
3. If you do not have a Digital Donor account, simply fill in the required fields then confirm the appointment.
4. If you do have an account, click on ‘Login here to schedule’ to log in to your Digital Donor account, then confirm your appointment.

The quadrivalent, preservative-free vaccine is designed to protect against four different flu viruses – two influenza A viruses and two influenza B viruses. Flu season runs from October to May, so it’s not too late to get a flu vaccine!

Kelsey-Seybold Spring Diagnostic Center

Conroe ISD Kelsey-Seybold plan members can receive a screening mammogram the day of the Screening Event at the Spring diagnostic center at 15655 Cypress Woods Medical Drive, Houston, TX, 77014.

To schedule your appointment with Kelsey-Seybold Spring Diagnostic Center:

1. Obtain an order for a screening mammogram from your Kelsey PCP or OB/GYN and call 713-442-1161 to schedule your screening mammogram.
2. Employees/dependents can also self-request their own mammogram without having to first see a PCP by calling 713-442-1161.
3. Certain criteria must be met in order to qualify for a self-requested screening mammogram:

• You must be at least 40 years old
• You must be an established Kelsey-Seybold patient.* If you have not been set up in their system yet, please call the Kelsey-Seybold concierge at 713-442-2304 and give them your insurance information so they can create a profile for you.
  
• You must be asymptomatic. If you have symptoms such as a lump in the breast or armpit, nipple changes (discharge, inversion, retraction or itching), skin changes (redness, dimpling, or thickening), or have a personal history of breast cancer which occurred less than 5 years ago, you must first schedule a PCP visit to obtain a diagnostic order.

*If you or your dependent uses the CISD Employee Health & Wellness Center as a PCP, you will need to obtain an order from the Clinic and fax it to the Kelsey-Seybold Radiology Scheduling Department at 713-442-1176. Kelsey will then reach out to you directly to obtain your insurance information and get your appointment scheduled.

The first sign that you may be a candidate for a heart attack or stroke is usually a heart attack or stroke. Cancer is often not diagnosed until stage 3 or 4. So how do we fight these asymptomatic diseases, when we know that early detection can make all the difference in the world?

If you have struggled with your weight, have been a smoker, eat an unbalanced diet, are physically inactive, have high blood pressure, high cholesterol, or diabetes, or if you have a family history of heart disease, stroke, or cancer, you may benefit from the Elite Medical Imaging screenings. The screening process is quick, painless, and non-invasive.

Elite Medical Imaging is pleased to offer 8 state-of-the-art ultrasound screenings to detect abnormalities before they escalate into serious health problems – all 8 tests will be offered for about $19 each for District Employees and their extended families. The total cost for all screenings is $150, which is not covered under medical insurance unless you have symptoms, but you are able to use your flexible spending account (FSA) to pay for it, if you have one. Elite also accepts other forms of payment.

Elite Medical Imaging will screen the carotid arteries and lower abdominal aorta for blockage, plaque build-up, and aneurysms. They will then screen the liver, left and right kidneys, thyroid, spleen and gallbladder for cysts, tumors, masses, unusual growths, kidney stones, and gallstones.

To schedule your screening, email Elite Medical Imaging today at stacey.aguirre@emi.us.com. For more information, go to emi.us.com.
