MARINA, Calif. - Get free health screenings, talk to heart and nutrition experts, meet personal trainers and check your health overall at the 4th annual "Every Beat Counts" heart health fair Saturday at Peninsula Wellness Center in Marina.
The event is from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. this Saturday, February 23.
Staff from Community Hospital will provide free blood pressure, cholesterol, and glucose screenings — no fasting required — and interpret the results, said a CHOMP news release. They'll also offer information on diabetes management, stroke prevention and treatment, sleep apnea, quitting smoking, and CPR. Personal trainers from Peninsula Wellness Center demonstrate use of cardiovascular fitness equipment and provide information on determining training heart rates.
There will be "ask the experts" tables, with Richard Gray, MD, and Debbie Sober, RN, both of Tyler Heart Institute, answering heart questions, and registered dietitians answering nutrition and diabetes questions. The bloodmobile will be there, collecting blood for use in our community.
