The screening included testing for Cholesterol, Glucose, Blood Pressure, Oxygen Saturation and Body Mass Index. This screening was for men because most men don’t visit doctors regularly so this can alert someone if there is problem to see their doctor ASAP and this can prevent a calamity from occurring. Every year there is at least one person who gets sent to the hospital straight from the screening due to highly abnormal readings!

Kudos to all the hatzalah members who gave up their Sunday afternoon to facilitate this screening!

Over 750 men showed up!!
