AT THE HEART OF CARE

Five of the six Grand Columbia Health Alliance members will be offering free “At the Heart of Care” assessment events in May to help community members become better informed to be more proactive and healthier in every age and stage of their lives. The assessment events seek to reach those between the ages of 30 and 74 who may be at risk for cardiac disease, but screenings are also available for those in other age groups.

 

The cardiac screenings include free blood tests, blood pressure, and other tests to determine if residents may have early symptoms of heart disease that are currently undetected. Attendees will need to fast if planning to have cholesterol, lipids, and glucose screened at the event. (Water and black coffee are okay when fasting.) Lipids are triglycerides and cholesterol with both LDL and HDL.

 

Symptoms that could indicate heart disease include shortness of breath, irregular heartbeat, fatigue, swollen legs, or chest pain—other symptoms may be less noticeable.
