Trinity Hospital Twin City’s Community Outreach Department will host a health screen from 9 am to noon at the Tuscarawas Library at 209 S. Main Street. Free blood pressure checks will be offered, and blood tests to measure total cholesterol, lipids (HDL, LDL and triglyceride) and glucose (sugar) levels will be available for $10.

                No appointment is necessary to participate in the health screen.  A ten to twelve hour fast is required for the blood tests, and participants are encouraged to continue drinking water while fasting.  For more information, please call (740) 922-7450, ext. 2124 or e-mail kbowe@trinitytwincity.org.

                Blood glucose tests are recommended for all adults who are overweight and/or have other risk factors for diabetes. Cholesterol checks are recommended for all adults at least once every five years or sooner as directed by a doctor. Participating in regular health screenings is one of the best ways to detect medical problems early.
