10. Health Risk Assessment Team Leader:Chrisondra ReeseX3179 Member: Kiley Squier “Every year we start with a Health Risk Assessment (HRA). When the results come in, we decide what things are needed most by the staff. So far, our greatest needs have consistently been fitness, nutrition and weight management. Without the HRA, we would be going down the wellness path without a road map.”
