Community Health Education and Resources, a nonprofit advocacy group based in Spokane, will sponsor a health screening at Valley Hospital and Education Center, 12606 E. Mission in Spokane Valley, on Saturday, Sept. 26, from 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.
The event will include testing for blood pressure, body mass index, full lipid panel cholesterol, bone density and blood glucose levels as well as waist-hip circumference measurement.
Cost of the screening is $30 per person, although CHER does provide scholarships to low-income residents.
CHER also offers classes in CPR training, diabetes prevention and maintenance, health supermarket shopping and a variety of other topics. The organization also sponsors a diabetes education center and a walking group that meets each morning at Manito Park in Spokane.
To learn more, or to register for a class or screening, call 509-232-8138 or visit www.cherspokane.org.
