NORTH ADAMS, Mass. - REACH for Community Health will sponsor a free wellness screening for community residents on Thursday, Nov. 12, from 9 a.m. to Noon at Stop and Shop supermarket on State Road, North Adams, near the pharmacy. Pre-registration is suggested. Those interested in participating may call 413-664-5326 for an appointment or for information.
The “Know Your Numbers” wellness screening will include a brief medical history including smoking and family history, a blood test to measure cholesterol and blood sugar levels, and a blood pressure measurement. A small amount of blood will be drawn from a finger stick. Nurses from North Adams Regional Hospital will discuss the screening results with participants.
“REACH for Community Health hopes community members who do not see a physician regularly will seize this opportunity to begin tracking their numbers. We are excited to bring this important health initiative to our community,” said Deborah Simmons, Executive Director of REACH.
