Health Screening Among a Rural, Hourly Workforce: North Carolina SERVIRE Project

By partnering with local businesses to deliver worksite-based health screenings, high rates of undiagnosed and uncontrolled diabetes and hypertension were identified among the rural, hourly workforce. This worksite-based approach to healthcare access could facilitate early detection of chronic disease, improve patient engagement in the healthcare system, and ultimately yield better long-term public health outcomes.
