Working with HMC and Your Personal Doctor 

While the HMC provides targeted intervention to improve certain areas of your health, we do not replace your relationship with your personal doctor or provider. 

All employees seen at HMC need to have a relationship with a PCP in the community. To facilitate ongoing communication, HMC sends a copy of your visit note to your PCP after each HMC appointment.

If you have numerous or complicated medical diagnoses that involve complex medication management, you will stay connected to an offsite attending physician or specialty provider for the ongoing management of your conditions.

Manage Your Blood Pressure

HMC offers free walk-in blood pressure readings for employees during business hours. Your visit will take about 15 minutes, and you do not need an appointment. 

You can also take your own blood pressure reading at a Virgin Pulse Kiosk; you earn Virgin Pulse points when you do!

Also, you can learn more about your risks for and the dangers of high blood pressure and pre-hypertension by enrolling in our Health Heart: Blood Pressure and Cholesterol Health Action Plan. 

You can earn $50 for your health reimbursement account (HRA) by completing this action plan.

Manage Your Cholesterol

One of the first steps you can take to improve your health is knowing where you stand with cholesterol. You are at higher risk for heart disease, stroke, and diabetes when your total cholesterol is too high, your “good” cholesterol too low, and your “bad” cholesterol too high. 

Make an appointment to schedule a cholesterol screening and one-on-one evaluation.

Manage Your Weight

Maintaining a healthy weight is a combination of making smart food choices, moving a little more, and keeping track of your ups and downs.

HMC offers several services to help you reduce and manage your weight:

• A nutrition assessment
• A medically supervised exercise clinic to get you moving safely
• A medically supervised group weight loss clinic

Make an appointment to learn more about what’s best for you. Your health professional will work with you to develop a personalized weight management plan and check in with you on your progress.

Also, check out one Sandia’s many Health Action Plans that support healthy food choices and physical activity. For example, you can enroll in our Move More Health Action Plan and create an easy plan for breaking up your sedentary workday with activity and micro-breaks.

Manage Diabetes and Prediabetes

Before people develop type 2 diabetes, they almost always have prediabetes – blood glucose levels that are higher than normal but not yet high enough to be diagnosed as diabetes. 

This condition puts you at a higher risk for developing type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease. 

Because there are no clear symptoms of prediabetes, you may have it and not know it. Early detection, treatment and lifestyle changes can decrease your risk of developing type 2 diabetes and reverse prediabetes.

Whether you have prediabetes or diabetes, the HMC can help you manage it. We offer one-on-one appointments with providers and certified diabetes educators to manage medications and teach you diabetes self-management skills.

Also, employees in New Mexico can take advantage special diabetes services:

• Diabetes glucose meters & 24-hour continuous glucose monitoring
• Preventive screening for diabetic feet

Make an appointment to learn more about your risk for diabetes. 

Also, check out Sandia’s Health Action Plans – Manage Diabetes and Manage Prediabetes – to learn more about managing this condition, and with the right steps, potentially reversing it or reducing your risks for related complications.

You can earn $50 for your health reimbursement account (HRA) by completing a Health Action Plan.

Quit Tobacco and Nicotine

If you are ready to stop smoking, vaping, or chewing tobacco, HMC offers a number of services and resources to help you quit.

An HMC health educator can help you formulate a personalized action plan, follow up to discuss your progress toward quitting, and provide ongoing resources and support. 

Make an appointment to learn more about quitting. 

Also, you can learn more about the health risks associated with using tobacco and nicotine, and take steps to quit by enrolling in our Quit Tobacco Health Action Plan. 

You can earn $50 for your health reimbursement account (HRA) by completing this action plan.
