What Is an HRA?

Knowing Your Risk Can Help Prevent It.

The first step to gaining control of your health is knowing your health risks. A Community Health Risk Assessment (HRA) is an easy way to take preventive care into your own hands. Here’s an overview.

What Is an HRA?

An HRA is a quick quiz that can give you a general idea of your risk for certain health conditions. By providing basic health information, you can learn if you’re at risk for things like stroke, colon cancer, breast cancer, and more.

After completing the HRA, you will receive a personalized summary report detailing risk factors, as well as actionable next steps for reducing risk. It’s important to remember that an HRA only provides an overview of your risk, and that it’s important to talk to your primary care physician if you have any questions or concerns.

What Are the Benefits?

It’s hard to know how to manage your health if you don’t at first know your risks. By getting an idea of your risk level for different medical conditions, you can figure out what steps you can take to minimize that risk and remain healthy.

Community HRAs will point you toward the information and resources you need to move ahead with a plan of action. Community can even connect you to the right care providers for follow-up to make sure that your future is built on a healthy foundation.

Who Should Take One?

There’s no harm in taking an HRA. First of all, they’re free to take, so you don’t have to worry about the cost. They’re also extremely quick, only taking a few minutes to complete. And even if you’re at low risk for any of these conditions, taking an HRA will provide tips on how to keep it that way.
