McDowell sponsors free health screenings
Ephraim McDowell Health is sponsoring a free health screening 7-10 a.m. Wednesday at Centenary United Methodist Church. Walk-ins are welcome.
Health screenings that will be offered are cholesterol, glucose, blood pressure, body mass index, stress vulnerability, lung capacity, sleep disorder, stroke, depression, sun damage and take-home colorectal cancer screening kits (over age 50). After the screenings are complete, participants will have the opportunity to discuss their results with a licensed health professional.
Participants should not eat 12 hours prior to their screening if they would like to have the blood test that gives them a full lipid panel. This gives the participant detailed information including their HDL, LDL, triglycerides and glucose.
The screenings are open to the public for anyone 18 years and older.
