During June, Sacred Heart Health System will provide free heart-health and osteoporosis screenings at several locations in Pensacola, Cantonment, Beulah and Bagdad 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. Osteoporosis screenings measure bone density.
