Who we are

Our Mission

Health Gauge helps working people and their families identify serious health risks earlier. We partner with union Locals, Health & Welfare Funds, TPAs, employers, and benefit partners to make comprehensive preventive screening convenient, accessible, and worth participating in.

Our coordinated programs may include onsite and at-home screening options, clinical laboratory testing, vascular and thyroid ultrasound screenings, cardiovascular testing, biometrics, secure digital results through The Gauge™, aggregate reporting, and follow-up strategies.

Our goal is simple: make participation easy, make results understandable, and help screening findings lead to appropriate care.

Our Story

Early in his career, Health Gauge founder Scott McGlothlen saw firsthand how noninvasive screenings could uncover serious cardiovascular risks in people who felt perfectly healthy. He knew screening could be a powerful tool, but only if people could easily access it, understand their results, and know what to do next.

Scott and his best friend, John Montgomery, built Health Gauge in Iowa around that idea. As the company grew, so did its connection to the union community.

Health Gauge understands the value of prevention because we understand working people. Our programs are built to make comprehensive screenings convenient and accessible through union Locals, Health & Welfare Funds, employers, and benefit partners.

What started with ultrasound screening has grown into a comprehensive preventive screening program serving unions and working families across the country.

Our goal is simple: identify risk early, give people useful information, and help them take action before a health issue becomes a crisis.

WE ARE UNION
Unionized through Laborers Local 177, Health Gauge is built around the same values that keep strong Locals moving forward: hard work, accountability, and looking out for one another.

The many relationships we’ve built with union leaders and members have shown us the value and importance of healthy, empowered, supported workers.

So when our own employees asked how to organize, we supported them wholeheartedly.

Our staff proudly belongs to Laborers’ Local 177 in Des Moines, Iowa. They are also proud participants in the Iowa Laborers’ Health and Welfare Plan.

There is no substitue for experience and longterm employees who are familiar with our high standard of customer care.

Our Team

The Health Screening Team Built for Unions

We’re a team of union members serving union members, bringing firsthand union experience to the work we do every day. We understand the people, the culture, and the importance of making health screenings easy, accessible, and worth showing up for. We take the work seriously, but we don’t take ourselves too seriously. We know unions, we know screenings, and we know how to have a little fun along the way.
