Local hospitals in each region will conduct the screenings, which will include blood pressure, glucose, cholesterol and body fat. The screenings will be FREE for benefit recipients. There will be a slight charge for spouses and dependents. In addition to the screenings, medical professionals will present healthful topics such as nutrition, exercise and weight loss. Other health-related organizations and associations will exhibit and provide information as well.
Participants can also visit the health fairs without going through the screenings.
To avoid long waits for screenings, participants will be scheduled into specific time sessions. RSVPs will be required. All benefit recipients will receive more information on the dates and locations of these fairs soon.
