Project: Healthy Heart Project
(FOX 2) - Heart disease is America’s #1 killer – make a date to protect your heart health!
FOX 2 is excited to team up with select Ascension Hospitals for the 2024 Healthy Heart Project. Our first event was in 2005 and since that time more than 10,000 people have been helped! The next person could be you!
It’s a whole heart checkup – and it’s all free. You’ll get extensive free screenings including blood pressure, BMI, blood glucose, even an electrocardiogram (EKG). Plus meet one-on-one with a doctor.
There will also be a stroke assessment and helpful information on weight loss, diet, and nutrition.
