Henry Mayo Offers Free Screenings
VALENCIA, CA (January 13, 2009) — Healthcare is always a priority, but during tough economic times, it's not always easy to fit it in the budget or find time in busy schedules. During Henry Mayo Newhall Memorial Hospital's "Care for Your Heart" Community Health Fair, attendees have an opportunity to participate in free health screenings and receive valuable healthcare tips and information.
The Henry Mayo "Care for Your Heart" Health Fair is held quarterly to help attendees learn just how healthy their heart is and what they can do to reduce their risk of developing coronary heart disease. Scheduled for Friday, February 13, from 7:30-10:30 a.m. at the Santa Clarita Community Center in Newhall, the health fair offers attendees free heart health education materials, smoking cessation information, and a series of health screenings, including:
• Blood Pressure Monitoring
• Height and Weight Analysis
• Body Fat Analysis
• Oxygen Saturation and Carbon Monoxide Measurement
• Cholesterol Test (12-hour fasting recommended)
• Glucose Test
• Heart Health Summary
• Healthy Diet Tips
In addition to the screenings, Henry Mayo staff will be on hand to answer questions, and participants will receive a health summary and health passport to record their results.
