Free Biometric Screening - February Heart Health Tour!

Date: 2/7/2019
Time:  7:00 AM - 11:00 AM
Type: Screenings/Vaccinations
Location: Healthy You Mobile

Get your FREE Biometric/cholesterol screening from Dietitian Lindsay from 7:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. on Thursday February 7! Join us outside on the Healthy You Mobile to find out what your numbers are for: cholesterol, triglycerides, blood sugar, blood pressure, BMI (body mass index), and body fat percentage.

This event is first-come-first-served; be sure to show up early because space is limited. If you are unable to participate in this event, there are other opportunities that exist for free biometric screenings from now through February 28 - be sure to contact your local Hy-Vee dietitian for more details and information!

Things you should be aware of before your screening:

1. The entire screening process typically lasts 15 to 20 minutes and you will receive all your results during this appointment. Lindsay will review the results of your screening during your appointment.

2. You must fast for 8-12 hours prior to screening time. This means no food or beverages other than water or black coffee. If you do not fast, your test results will not be accurate.

3. Drink plenty of water the night before and morning of screening.

4. Continue to take any medications prescribed by your physician the day of the screening. If food is required with the medication, choose a healthy lower-sodium, lower-fat and lower-sugar snack.

5. If you are diabetic, pregnant or have a medical issue, check with your physician before fasting.

6. Wear loose-fitting sleeves or be prepared to remove clothing with bulky sleeves.

7. Please do not use any lotions on your hands or glycerin soaps, please clean hands with warm soap and water prior to appointment.
