I’m a nurse by trade, so I love it when hospitals provide free screening services. There are so many people who wouldn’t otherwise get these valuable health screenings.
This Saturday, January 15, 2011 from 8:00 to 11:00 a.m., Loris Healthcare System is hosting a free health & wellness fair at Myrtle Beach Mall.
Free health screenings include:
- Blood pressure
- Body mass index
- Pulse oximetry screen (how much oxygen is in your blood)
- Blood sugar screening
- Physical therapy
- Hand screening
You can also have your cholesterol, your heart, your thyroid, or your prostate tested for a fee ($10 to $25, depending on the test). If you’re planning to have your cholesterol tested, don’t eat or drink anything for 12 hours before your test.
Myrtle Beach Mall is located at 10177 N. Kings Highway in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.
