Free Health Screenings Saturday at Overlake Health Fair

Check your blood pressure, cholesterol and other screenings for free Saturday at Overlake Medical Center's community health fair.

The fair will be from 8 to 11 a.m. Saturday Sept. 28, at the Overlake Medical Center main campus, 1035 116th Ave. NE, Bellevue.

“We are committed to keeping our community healthy.  By offering important health screenings across the Eastside, we hope to help people prevent serious health conditions before they occur and encourage them to manage conditions they may already have,” said Craig Hendrickson, Overlake’s president and CEO said in a prepared statement.

People in the community can meet the different Overlake Medical Clinics’ primary care physicians and cardiologists. The event will include skin cancer spot checks, target heart rate readings and body mass index readings. There will also be Overlake surgeons on hand to demonstrate the da Vinci® Surgical System and nutritionists available to discuss diabetes and tips for healthful eating, according to a press release from Overlake Hospital Medical Center. 

The Bellevue Fire Department also will demonstrate CPR and an automatic external defibrillator (AED), which are useful tools for the public to help those suffering cardiac arrest.
