WFSB

West Hartford, CT – Residents of West Hartford and Bloomfield have a fantastic opportunity to prioritize their health this weekend! The West Hartford and Bloomfield Health District is offering free health screenings at the bustling West Hartford Farmers Market. This initiative aims to provide accessible and convenient health checks for everyone in the community.

On Saturday morning, the Health District set up a booth at the popular Farmers Market, offering vital screenings that can be the first step towards a healthier you. The screenings included free blood pressure and heart-rate tests – two crucial indicators of overall cardiovascular health.

“We believe that preventative care is key to maintaining good health,” stated a representative from the Health District. “These screenings are a simple and easy way for people to get a baseline understanding of their health status. If any concerns are identified, we can provide resources and guidance for further evaluation and care.”

Why are these screenings important?

• Blood Pressure: High blood pressure often has no symptoms, making regular checks essential. Early detection allows for timely intervention and reduces the risk of serious complications like heart disease and stroke.
• Heart Rate: Monitoring your heart rate can reveal valuable information about your cardiovascular health and overall fitness level.

The Health District's presence at the Farmers Market demonstrates a commitment to reaching the community where they are. It’s a convenient way for busy individuals and families to incorporate preventative health checks into their weekend routine.

Don’t miss this valuable opportunity! The West Hartford and Bloomfield Health District encourages everyone to take advantage of these free health screenings and prioritize their well-being. Keep an eye on the Health District’s website and social media channels for future events and health initiatives.
