Though over 80% of surveyed employees want help to detect problems earlier, most have received no formal training nor updated resources to assist them.

HPN’s Early Detection resources are strategically designed to help improve how early health problems are detected and appropriately handled by empowering employees with the most recent guidelines, skills and resources.

These Early Detection tools provide updated guidelines for early detection on a daily, monthly and every 1-5 year basis. By using these tools, employees and their families can detect problems earlier and get better results – via improvements in screenings, record-keeping, doctor-patient communications and appropriate use of all resources available through work, benefits, health care and community.

HPN's Early Detection products and services include:

• The Early Detection Tips & Tools Guide, DVD, Instructional Bookmark, Wallet Cards, Reminders and Tumor Detection Tools for every employee and family
