Periodic screenings are an essential component of preventive healthcare.
Important measurements including blood pressure, pulse, weight and BMI
in combination with other blood tests, indicate the body’s reaction to the
normal and abnormal processes occurring in the body, or the likelihood of
the incidence of disease. Based on results, participants are referred to their
own physicians or to a referral list of physicians for follow-up.
Free screenings include blood pressure, pulse, weight and body mass
index calculations. The cost for the total cholesterol test is $10 and blood
glucose testing is $5.
