    What’s Included

    The free screenings cover a wide range of essential health indicators, giving participants a quick but valuable snapshot of their overall wellness:

    • Blood sugar
    • Body mass index (BMI)

    These services are designed to help individuals better understand their health status and identify any early warning signs before they become serious concerns.
