During the van’s stops, two institute health counselors will provide blood pressure checks, osteoporosis screenings and cholesterol screenings. There will be a $10 fee for a cholesterol screening.

Also available will be a ScoreKeeper cardiovascular risk assessment, a computer application that provides an assessment of an individual’s cardiac health in a personalized health status report.

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 participant requests, a report identifying risk factors and plans for modifying health risks is mailed to his or her primary care provider.
