Free, discounted health screenings at Mile Bluff Medical Center in Mauston
In order to lead a healthy
lifestyle, it’s important to take control of your health. Knowing your specific risks for developing
heart disease, diabetes and hearing loss can help you be proactive in making
healthier life choices. Knowing your
levels of cholesterol and blood pressure, and keeping those under control, may
even help to add a few more years to your life.
If you would like to learn
some steps you can take to better control your wellness, be sure to attend the
upcoming health fair at Mile Bluff Medical Center in Mauston. The event will be held on Thursday, April 13
from 7 to 11 am.
Free blood pressure and blood
sugar screenings will be available, along with the opportunity to discuss
specific risks for developing diabetes and heart disease with Mile Bluff’s
healthcare professionals. You will also have the opportunity to enjoy
refreshments and win door prizes.
If you would like to have a
total cholesterol test performed with no fasting required, you may do so for
$10. You also have the option to have a lipid profile worked up for only $20;
this test requires 12 hours of fasting.
In addition to these
services, a member from Mile Bluff’s audiology team will be available from 8 to
11 am to perform free hearing tests. They will be able to tell you of any
specific risks you may have for developing hearing loss.
Once your tests are
completed, Mile Bluff’s healthcare professionals will review your results with
you, and will provide tips on how to reduce your risks for developing diabetes,
heart disease and hearing loss. If areas of concern are found through these screenings,
resources will be provided to help you with your needs, and all results will be
sent to your primary care provider.
You will also have the
opportunity to meet with a Mile Bluff pharmacist to discuss any medication
questions you may have. These free consultations are by appointment only.
Insurance
is not needed to take advantage of the benefits these health screenings have to
offer. The information you receive from
these tests, along with the educational tools you will be given, are
important steps in positively impacting your health.
Appointments are required for all services, so call 608-847-1845 to reserve your
spot today!
