Heart Health : Cholesterol Screenings
High cholesterol is an issue for many Americans. Did you know that having high cholesterol can increase your risk for heart attack and stroke? There are ways you can help keep your cholesterol under control. Eat foods low in cholesterol and saturated fat, and free of trans fat. Maintain a healthy weight. Get plenty of exercise, which usually means being physically active for 30 minutes most days of the week. It’s hard to manage your cholesterol if you don’t know what your cholesterol levels are. St. John’s Health Connection can help. We’ll hold a cholesterol screening tomorrow in the St. John’s Mercy Conference Center from 8 – 10 a.m. Registration is required, so call Referral One at 625.2000 today to make your appointment. The screening will include total cholesterol, HDL, LDL, triglycerides and glucose. For more information, call St. John’s Referral One at 625.2000 or visit our online events calendar at stj.com.
When it matters most, think St. John’s.
