In addition, time will be required for computation, data analysis /:.. interpretation and exercise prescription. Finally, as we have discussed, several hours will be needed for providing educational, informational, question and answer-sessions for the personnel involved. The cost of my services and that of a trained technician to assist_ me in this project is $70 /participant. If you have any questions or need clarification regarding the tests and or fee schedule, feel free to contact me. )ncerely, Ja s L.

LUIS OBISPO, CALIFORNIA 9.3401 805/543.6265 10 January 1983 Re: Fitness evaluations for uniformed Personnel of the city of San Luis Obispo. I wculd like to formalize the arrangement for a fitness awareness program designed for uniformed personnel in the city of San Luis Obispo. As you know, the risk of coronary heart disease is significant in men as they advance in age through their 30's, 4V s, and older. There appears to be added risk associated with service in the fire and police corps of a conriunity. It is believed that these. risks can be altered by a corbination of education and change in exercise and diet habits. what is proposed is a joint program_ between my office (that is Dr: David Javitz, IL D. and myself) with Dr. Janeslv':ebb, exercise physiologist. at Cal Poly University, Dan Luis Obispo. Our intention is to thoroughly evaluate these uniforned personnel, educate then as to the findings of the evaluation and prescribe the changes which might improve the problem areas described in this evaluation. 14e also plan to reevaluate at an interval in the future to document changes and hopefully irprovement in these problem areas. . The initial phase will be a medical evaluation to be done in our office by Dr. Javitz and myself. This will include a physical examination (not only a loop at the cardiovascular areas, but also a: general look. at the rest of the body) along with a complete blood panel to include blood sugar, cholesterol, triglycerides and other lipid studies, a complete blood count and tests which look at liver and kidney function generally along with a urinalysis. A resting electrocardiogram will also be done. We plan to monitor the treadrill which will be performed .in Dr. •;ebb's laboratory and this, therefore grill serve as a stress test. The total cost for all of this will be $100.00 per person. If a chest Xmray is indicated, that would be ordered but would be an extra charge. The second phase of the evaluation will take place in Dr. =ebbis laboratory and is described in his letter. When he has cm:pleted his evaluation, we plan to provide the results of both of our studies to each individual in one coordinated document. .,te also plan to suggest the changes that might be made to improve on px•oblem areas.. Reevaluation is planned at an interval of possibly 6 months to 1 year. I {y impression is that mn s of this will be done in Dr. vebb's laboratory since ti.ese are the areas we are going to concentrate. on. If there are significant abnormalities in laboratory tests, then these can also be rechecked, but there will be an additionalcharge for these at the time they are done. If this does occur, it is very unlikely to exceed $50400 per person and would not necessarily involve all 61 the individuals. ....2_.. A o_uestionaire has been given to many of the safety personnel and will be given to the rest, information from these will be included in the data gathered and utilized in helping to recormrend changes in habits and life - style. Ail of the inforr!ationgati-iere .. ,� our office and also gathered in conjunction with Dr. 1--;ebb would, in my opinion, constitute medical records and not personnel records. The results of these, therefore, will be shared with the individual but kept confidential othemise. LAB /lfg Sin ely, D Vi) d. 3Eit�f;U DT, R. D.
