Wellness programs are a great way to promote productivity, engage employees and help your bottom-line by avoiding extensive costs from preventable diseases and conditions. Star Wellness is the perfect way to take your wellness program to the next level.
The two main goals of our health screening business are to:
- Encourage individuals to take charge of their personal health management.
- Help companies with their cost-avoidance strategies.
But what makes Star Wellness a better option than our competitors? It’s not an easy question to answer since none of them have the flexibility to customize their screenings that we offer.
We provide comprehensive blood profiles, similar to what you would get from your personal physician, but with the convenience of us coming to you. Our results are reliable and easy to read and understand.
Additionally, our competitors mainly do finger stick testing, as opposed to venipuncture testing, leaving much room for error. See the differences:
Finger Stick
Pros
- Results while you wait
- Small, light and easy to transport
Cons
- Hands must be warm
- Specimen quality highly affected by finger stick technique
- Results affected by:
- Anemic patients
- Altitude
- Temperature (environmental excess)
- Direct sunlight causes error report. No result given.
- Test strip reaction area affected by humidity. Lowers results.
- Per test cost is higher than venipuncture.
- Less accurate than venipuncture
- Not readily accepted by physicians (Repeat testing using venipuncture necessary)
- Must have accurate count for advance ordering
- Cost incurred for unused tests
- Regulations vary by state
Venipuncture
Pros
- High accuracy
- Not affected by environmental conditions
- Accepted by physicians
- Immediate diagnosis (no need for repeat testing)
- Lower per test cost
- Faster than fingerstick
- Only estimated count required
- No waste

Cons
- 24-hour result reporting
- Results mailed to participant
