Wellness Education Series

Heart disease is the leading cause of death in America. An important part of being your own health advocate is “knowing your numbers.” Please join us for a mini health fair, hosted by North Kansas City Hospital! Lunch is provided and the event includes:

· Free biometric screening including a total lipid profile (total cholesterol, LDL, HDL, triglycerides and blood sugar/glucose level), blood pressure, height, weight, BMI. (If you eat/drink something other than water, your numbers may vary slightly. If you prefer to have a more accurate screening, fasting is recommended 8-12 hours prior to this test, unless you are diabetic or pregnant. Do drink plenty of water while fasting and continue with any prescribed medications.)
· The opportunity to speak one-on-one with a nurse regarding all of your results
· DermaScan screenings to check for sun damage
· The opportunity to visit other health information booths
