Depression and
anxiety screenings.
Do you nd yourself worry-
ing about things you can’t

lot of stress at work or in
your personal life? Sentara

Blood
pressure.
Stop by to receive
your accurate
blood pressure
reading. Medical
professionals will
measure whether
your blood pres-
sure is high, low
or normal. If your
blood pressure
is too high, you
could be at risk of
a heart attack or
stroke.
Cholesterol and blood
glucose screenings.
A cholesterol test measures the
amount of cholesterol and triglycer-
ides in your blood and can help deter-
mine your risk of buildup of plaques
in your arteries. High cholesterol
levels usually don’t show any signs
or symptoms and often are a sig-
ni cant risk factor for heart disease,
so a cholesterol test is important.
Getting your blood glucose (blood
sugar) levels tested is essential. High
blood glucose is one risk factor that
can increase your chance of getting
diabetes—or of developing complica-
tions, if you have it. The cholesterol
and blood glucose tests are done at
the same time. All it takes is one quick
stick of a nger. Appointments are re-
quired for this test. Call
434-517-3635
.
Body mass
index screening.
Controlling your weight
is an important part
of living a healthy life.
Body mass index (BMI)
is a measure of body fat
based on height and
weight that applies to
adult men and women.
This test is easy—all you
have to do is step on the
scale, and everything
will be calculated.
Spring
forward
to good
health!
