BRIDGTON – The Central Maine Heart and Vascular Institute Wellness Van will visit the Bridgton Community Center from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Wednesday, April 25.
Two institute health counselors will provide blood pressure checks, osteoporosis screenings and cholesterol screenings. There will be a $10 fee for a cholesterol screening.
The ScoreKeeper cardiovascular risk assessment, a computer application that provides an assessment of an individual’s cardiac health in a personalized health status report, will also be available.
A ScoreKeeper report, coupled with the advice of a qualified healthcare professional, can be used to develop recommendations for modifying risk factors for cardiac disease and create a health self-management plan.
If the ScoreKeeper participant requests it, a report identifying risk factors and plans for modifying health risks is mailed to his or her primary care provider.
Advance appointments are not necessary. Anyone interested in more information about CMMC Wellness Van services should call 795-8240 or e-mail [email protected]. The Bridgton Community Center is located at 15 Depot St.
