Heart Health : Cholesterol Screening
Do you know if you have high cholesterol? Nearly 17 percent of Americans do. But the problem is that a lot of people don’t know they have high cholesterol. That’s because it doesn’t produce any symptoms. What’s more is high cholesterol is a major risk factor for heart disease. That’s why it’s so important to know what your cholesterol levels are. If you don’t know, St. John’s can help. St. John’s Health Connection offers cholesterol screenings every month. The next screening will be held on February 9th at the Family Care Center at 32nd and Jackson in Joplin. Fasting is recommended and the cost is only $5.00. Registration is required so call today to make your appointment. For more information on St. John’s events or to find a physician, visit stj.com or call St. John’s Referral One at 625.2000.
