Cholesterol and Blood Pressure Screenings
Want to lower your risk for heart disease and
diabetes? Start by finding out your blood pressure and cholesterol numbers
and understanding what they mean at one of our convenient community
screenings.
Adults should be tested
every three to five years or more, depending on risk.
Our test uses
state-of-the-art equipment and requires only a simple finger-stick blood
sample for immediate, accurate results.
Results for
total cholesterol, HDL, LDL, triglycerides and blood glucose are available
within 20 minutes.
A registered nurse will explain your results and offer health information.
Ask our registered nurses
questions about your heart-disease risk and discuss steps for leading a
heart-healthy life.
A
12-hour fast is required for best results. Medications are permitted.
Drinking water is encouraged.
If you are a Health
District resident your first cholesterol test is free.
Cost for all others is $15.
Appointments are
required. No walk-ins for cholesterol screenings, unless otherwise
noted. To make an appointment or for more information or additional
screening locations, call 224-5209.
Blood pressure checks are
free and no appointment is necessary.
