Submitted by Tricia Hennessy
Find out how old you really are based on your “health” age. This year Parkview Whitley Hospital and Parkview Women’s Health Center are teaming up together to determine how old you really are at the annual Heartbeats Festival, scheduled for Saturday, May 3, from 7 to 11 a.m.
This is the 20th and final year for the Heartbeats Festival at Parkview Whitley Hospital. A larger, more inclusive health event will be planned for 2009.
For a $30 fee, individuals will participate in a Personal Wellness Profile education report designed to help evaluate current lifestyle, identify health risks, and decide where and how to make improvements. Screenings include a blood chemistry profile, blood pressure, height, weight, and waist-to-hip measurements. All participants will receive an individual report and consultation with a health professional.
Other screenings include:
Blood Chemistry Profile* $20; Prostatic-Specific Antigen (PSA) $20; Hemogram** $8; Bone Density $15; and Body Composition $10.
Additionally, height, weight, blood pressure and skin cancer screenings are free.
*Blood Chemistry Profile is a standard Parkview Health blood screening with 17 tests that deal with all the vital organs and cardiac risk factors
**Hemogram measures white cells and red cells to screen for infection or anemia
Other services available at this year’s Heartbeats Festival include Francine’s Friends Mobile Mammography and massage therapy, among others.
