Health Risk Assessments (HRAs) in Kansas City

Help Your Employees Identify Health Risks Early – Before They Become Serious Problems

Most people don’t prioritize preventive healthcare until symptoms emerge—but by then, it may be too late. That’s where a Health Risk Assessment (HRA) can change the game. Whether for your workplace wellness program or your own proactive health planning, Test Smartly Labs offers affordable, accessible HRAs to help you and your team make smarter, healthier choices.

We specialize in supporting employers who want to promote long-term wellness across their workforce with actionable data and convenient lab testing options.

 

What Is a Health Risk Assessment (HRA)?

An HRA is a tool designed to help individuals identify potential health risks based on their current health status, lifestyle choices, lab data, and family history.

Think of it as a health snapshot that reveals warning signs—before illness sets in.

An HRA may be completed digitally, with a nurse, or with the support of a diagnostic center like Test Smartly Labs. The information gathered through the assessment helps individuals—and employers—understand health priorities, recommend follow-up steps, and design personalized wellness strategies.

 

Why Should Employers Encourage Health Risk Assessments?

According to the CDC, workplace health programs that include HRAs can:

• Lower absenteeism by identifying and addressing preventable health risks

• Reduce healthcare costs by catching chronic diseases early

• Increase productivity by improving energy, morale, and cognitive function

• Boost employee retention by showing investment in well-being

Offering HRAs can be a cost-effective, high-impact addition to your wellness or benefits package.

 

What’s Included in an HRA?

A comprehensive Health Risk Assessment typically covers the following five core areas:

1. Basic Biometrics

• Height, weight, BMI (Body Mass Index)

• Waist circumference

• Blood pressure and pulse rate

2. Lab Testing

Our in-house lab tests can screen for:

• Cholesterol and lipid profiles

• Blood glucose (HbA1c) for diabetes risk

• Liver and kidney function (CMP)

• Thyroid levels (TSH, T3, T4)

• Vitamin deficiencies (B12, D, Iron)

• Inflammatory markers like CRP or homocysteine (optional add-ons)

We help interpret results with easy-to-understand health reports and actionable recommendations.

3. Lifestyle Behaviors

Participants answer questions about:

• Smoking and tobacco use

• Alcohol consumption

• Physical activity and exercise habits

• Sleep quality

• Nutritional patterns and food choices

4. Personal & Family Medical History

We identify risks based on:

• Known chronic conditions (e.g., high blood pressure, diabetes, depression)

• Family history of diseases such as heart disease, cancer, or autoimmune disorders

5. Readiness for Change

Each participant reflects on their:

• Mental health and stress levels

• Motivation to make lifestyle changes

• Willingness to seek help or support programs

This self-awareness component is crucial for tailoring workplace interventions and ensuring effectiveness.

The MRO will then call your physician to verify your medications.
