FREE HEART SCREENINGS THIS WEEKEND!

As a part of the YWCA Heart Health initiative, the Women’s Health Equity program will be at the KOB Health Fair on January 28 & 29th at EXPO New Mexico and we will have vouchers available for women to use for free screening at the TriCore Reference Laboratories booth. The vouchers are valid for the Hemoglobin A1C and Lipid Panel Profile tests. Many women do not realize that heart disease is their number one killer. High blood sugar, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol are all risk factors for heart disease.

The YWCA Heart Health initiative is funded by a grant from the United Way of Central New Mexico and by the Foundation for the National Institutes of Health in partnership with the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute on behalf of The Heart Truth® in support of women’s heart health education and research.
