The low-cost screenings include Lipid Profile (Cholesterol Breakdown $8), TSH (Thyroid Screening $5), PSA (Prostate Cancer Screening $15) and A1C (3-month glucose average $15).
The” Celebrate Health Smoke Free” event will offer fitness classes and fun activities. On site will be the Second Harvest Makin’ Groceries Mobile Unit as well as the Communities of Color Mobile Unit. Participants will have access to the walking track and will be able to visit with Healthy St. Landry partners. Live Music will also be available by Wayne Singleton and Same Ol’ Two Step.
