· Heart disease
· Gout
· Liver and kidney disease
· Complete Blood Count (CBC)
· HDL (good) and LDL (bad) cholesterol level
Health Scan PLUS includes additional biometric assessments as part of the BE WELL wellness program.

Lehigh employees are eligible for one free screening per year as part of their benefits program. Retirees as well as employee spouses/partners can also participate in the screening at full cost (currently $55). Registration Forms are being sent via campus mail.
