Quotation[0] = "I just wanted to thank someone for providing our school with the free health screenings. I had my screening done Tuesday, December 15th and found out that I have Diabetes type 2. I usually get my blood work done once a year but I hadn’t in a year and a half. My eyesight has been getting blurrier lately but I didn’t think about anything but age. The nurse (Maryann) that spoke to me that day was wonderfully understanding and encouraging. I took her seriously and I made an appointment with my regular doctor. I now have to check my sugar twice a day and I am so far controlling it with diet and hopefully exercise. The education of this whole thing has been very enlightening — I can’t imagine where I’d be if I didn’t become aware now. Thank you again for providing these services — you’ve made a difference in my life.

Quotation[1] = "I attended the health screening last year and it was determined my blood pressure was very high. The health coach advised me to call my physician to schedule an appointment for the same week. My physician adjusted my meds and I have changed my diet to improve my health.

Quotation[2] = "Last year I receive really bad scores at the health screening. I followed up by going to my doctor who confirmed the results of the health screening by ordering labs. He told me that I could reverse the bad numbers by losing weight. I joined weight watchers at work where I started eating better (and less) and exercising regularly. It has been almost a year, my BP and blood sugar is now normal. I have lost 50 lbs. and feel better. I was embarrassed last year when my results from the health screening was given to me, I determined then and there that my life was worth changing.

Quotation[4] = "When I came to the health screening last year my pressure and sugar were up. So I decided to make a change in my life. I said that when I come next year to the health screening I will be a little better than I was before. So I started eating better, exercising more, and mainly changed my eating habits. It worked, at the screening this year, my pressure and cholesterol are better.

Determined to improve my health, I made immediate changes to my diet and exercise habits. I joined a gym and started eating out less and cooking more. I’m happy to say that this year I looked forward to going to each station to see my new results. I was so happy to see every category was improved and while I haven’t reached my final goal, I’m motivated to stay on the right track.

Quotation[14] = "I recently had a health screening with Health Designs. It had been a stressful day and I was not looking forward to the screening at the end of a long day. When my blood pressure was taken by Marlon, it was considerably higher than normal which worried me. Marlon told me to finish my assessments and come by for a retake. When I returned, he talked to me calmly trying to relieve my anxiety. At the end of my screening, Marlon was also the person who spoke to me about my overall health screening. He gave me advice on things I could do to improve my overall health. He was positive about the good choices I was making and gently explained things I could do to improve my health. I felt lucky to have Marlon help me during my screening. He made it more tolerable and even more helpful than I expected. Thank you so much Marlon and Health Designs.
—Wendy from Polk County School Board";
Quotation[15] = "I am one of those people who have always had good blood pressure: 120⁄80. But last year when I attended the Health screening my BP was high: 140+⁄90+. And my cholesterol numbers were way out of line! This scared me because I had just lost my father-in-law, who had suffered a stroke. I never wanted this to happen to me. The team at the Heath screening gave me lots of suggestions, one of which was to see a physician. I saw my physician who recommended regular exercise and a change in eating habits. I took his advice, joined a gym and started eating more fruits, veggies and whole grains. I also added fish oil tablets to my diet and 3 months later my BP was back to normal range, and my triglycerides had dropped 100 points. A follow up visit 6 months later and my triglycerides had dropped over 100 additional points. The combination of improved eating habits, regular exercise (cardio and strength training 4–5 times a week) and weight loss (over 20 pounds) was sufficient to get me back on track. My BP at today’s health screening was 114⁄77, all this without going on blood pressure medication.

Quotation[16] = "When I just started the health risk assessment with Health Designs, I thought it was time consuming and a waste of my time and when I realized I would have to go through a coaching session, that put my over the edge mentally, thinking I was going to have a “cheerleading” session with someone who does not know me — usually “Go Bev, Go Bev,” you can lose weight, you can quit smoking, you can…you can…I have learned, I stressed for no reason at all! I have worked out goals for every session with my wonderful coach, Margie, and have met and exceeded those simple “I can do this” — I do this by challenging myself — no one else but myself. I walk in every time with my assessment sheet and say “I am ready,” feels great — I think my coach looks at me and smiles each time she sees me, I think she is watching my change, mentally and physically and challenging. However, I do not think she realizes, I am actually challenging her to coach me! Now I say along with my coach, “Go Bev, Go Bev” and in my mind I am saying “Go Margie, Go Margie…” Keep up the good work — you will all feel great! I promise — Sincerest Regards.
