Free Heart Health Screenings @ the Library

KNOW YOUR NUMBERS….. CHOOSE YOUR LIFESTYLE! In 1964 President Lyndon B. Johnson declared the first American Heart Month dedicated to Cardiovascular Health. In May, 2018, Northern Arizona Healthcare Community Health Screening Program is providing community members the opportunity to assess their cardiovascular health risk by offering free non-fasting Biometric screenings. Do you know your numbers? Your blood sugar? Your diabetes risk? Your cholesterol numbers? Your blood pressure? And your waist measurement? These are important numbers to know as they can be instrumental in helping you make informed decisions about the lifestyle habits you choose. During our 20 minute non-fasting Biometric screening you will not only get your “numbers,” in addition a healthcare professional will go over your results with you to help you understand the connection between your numbers and healthy lifestyle habits. The design of the program is to provide our clients with an awareness of their health status and education to make healthy choices. Self-knowledge can inspire change and it can simply feel good to know! Heart-healthy habits matter and knowing your numbers is an important step in choosing and maintaining a heart healthy lifestyle. These free screenings will take place at the Cottonwood Public Library on Wednesday, August 30 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. in the Dede Ewald Room. No appointment is necessary. The library is located at 100 S 6th St in Cottonwood. For more information on library services please visit www.ctwpl.info or find them on Facebook.
