Central Blood Bank donors can monitor their wellness profile through My Personal Donation History, a secure online record of personal donation information. The wellness information includes blood pressure, temperature and pulse.
Brighten Life members who achieve the Bright level or higher have the added benefit of tracking their blood pressure and cholesterol test results online.
Some cholesterol is needed in order for our bodies to function properly. However, health problems such as heart disease may develop if a body has too much cholesterol. Monitoring cholesterol is an important aspect of good health. For more detailed cholesterol information, click here.
It is important in addition, to frequently monitor blood pressure. High blood pressure can be dangerous because the heart has to work harder to pump blood through the body. It can lead to heart attacks or heart failure, stroke, and kidney failure. For more detailed blood pressure information, click here.
Another Brighten Life for our Brightest-level donors is the Advanced Wellness
Check. This service is free to Brightest level donors as an annual benefit (one per
year). This wellness check, conducted at any community donor center or mobile blood drive,
provides an accurate profile of your fasting cholesterol, including HDL, LDL,
and triglycerides. For more information on Advanced Wellness Checks, click here.
