If you would like to learn
some steps you can take to better control your wellness, be sure to attend the

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.
