In order to lead a healthy lifestyle, it’s important to take control of your health. Knowing your specific risks for developing heart disease and diabetes 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 – Delton Family Medical Center. The event will be held on Thursday, December
18 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.
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 and
heart disease. 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.
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 608-254-5888 to reserve your
spot today!
