San Ramon Regional Medical Center is offering free health screenings and information at a Women’s Health Fair from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m., Saturday, Feb. 27.
Preventive health screenings will include: total cholesterol, glucose, blood pressure, body mass index calculation, pulmonary function testing, and bone density screenings for osteoporosis. Fasting is recommended, but not required, for the cholesterol and glucose blood tests.
Participates can experience an earthquake in The Quake Cottage and learn about disaster planning; tour the new all-digital Breast Center; and learn about cardiac, stroke, arthritis, spine and cancer prevention and treatment. Information also will be available on children’s health.
The staff at San Ramon Regional Medical Center will encourage positive lifestyle changes to help reduce the risk of disease and chronic illnesses. These screenings will be a first step to help identify some health risks. The next step is to schedule an appointment with a physician for a clean bill of health.
Screenings will be provided on a first come, first served basis. No reservations will be taken. Screenings are appropriate for adults. Men are welcome to participate.
The Health Fair will be in the hospital’s South Building, 7777 Norris Canyon Road in San Ramon. For information, call (800) 284-2878 or visit www.OurSanRamonHospital.com.
