MILTON — During March, Sacred Heart Health System will provide free heart-health screenings at locations in Pensacola, Milton and Pace for adults who are poor, elderly or uninsured.

Heart-health screenings will measure blood pressure, blood sugar and total cholesterol, and can detect anemia. The screenings are helpful in diagnosing conditions that put people at high risk for heart attack, stroke, diabetes and other health problems.

Following is the schedule for March’s Santa Rosa County locations:

  • March 6 from 8:30 to 11 a.m. at St. Rose of Lima Catholic Church, 6451 Park Ave., Milton 
  • March 28 from 9 to 11 a.m. at First United Methodist Church of Pace, 4540 Chumuckla Highway, Pace
