healthy you with virgin pulse

When you take the health assessment, you'll be asked to provide your personal numbers, including your lab tests, so it's a good idea to have them ready. You don't need all of these numbers to take the health assessment or participate in the program, but you'll receive a more comprehensive result if you do. You’ll be asked to provide the following numbers:

• Height (without shoes)
• Weight (without shoes)
• Waist circumference
• Blood pressure
• Cholesterol (total, LDL, HDL, triglycerides)
• Blood glucose (blood sugar)

You can even provide them later after you've already started participating. If you've had a blood test to screen for your cholesterol and glucose within the past year, you can use those results in your health questionnaire. If it's been over a year since you've had a blood test, consider scheduling an appointment to get your up-to-date numbers. 

how to get your numbers

Here are some ideas to get your numbers checked: 

• Some locations, but not all, occasionally sponsor health fairs or screening events that provide the opportunity to get these blood tests done on-site. You will be notified about local Know Your Numbers health screening events associated with the Healthy You program.
• If your Chevron worksite has a health clinic, a health station or a fitness center, you can visit them to get a blood pressure reading or body weight measurements. Some locations, but not all, may also check cholesterol or blood glucose.
• Visit your physician and ask for an exam that includes the information listed above. In some cases this exam may be available as part of your local health care benefits. Local policies vary, so ask your Human Resources or medical department if these exams are available to you.
