| Free Community Health Screening |
| (BRIDGMAN) – In honor of American Heart Month, Lakeland HealthCare is offering a free cholesterol screening. Set for Saturday, February 20, from 8:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m., the event will take place at Immanuel Lutheran Church, 9650 North Church Street, Bridgman. Heart disease is the single-leading cause of death for Americans, but with education and awareness, heart disease can largely be prevented. Southwest Michigan residents are encouraged to find out their risk factors for heart disease, and learn how to reduce this risk. The screening requires a 12-hour fast and will provide a cholesterol lipid panel, which includes fasting cholesterol, HDL, LDL, triglycerides, and glucose (blood sugar) levels. A blood pressure screening is also provided. This screening is intended for community members who have not had their cholesterol checked in more than one year, or who do not have health insurance. This event is sponsored by HeartSafe, a program designed to evaluate the risk of heart disease and encourage healthy lifestyles. For more information, call (269) 556-2808 or (866) 260-7544. |
