WELL-BEING DAY FOR IMMIGRANTS AT ENTRESSE, ESPOON KESKUS:

FREE HEALTH CHECKS AND GUIDANCE

On April 25 we’ll perform free health checks and give guidance on health matters at the Entresse Library, Espoon keskus, Espoo from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m.

Our Well-being Day at the Entresse Library is free of charge and open for all immigrants. After the health check we offer free, healthy snacks.

High blood pressure, diabetes, stroke, depression, cancer, liver and kidney problems, &c. are increasingly prevalent within the immigrant communities. Prevention is better than a cure, and regular health checks can help detect these diseases early on!

We offer free testing and guidance:

– Blood pressure

– Haemoglobin

– Body composition

– Total cholesterol

– Blood sugar

We offer free guidance:

– Vitamin D and K2, calcium

If you want to have you cholesterol and blood sugar levels tested, come early and without having breakfast. You need to fast for 10-14 for the test results to be accurate.

For the body composition test you will need to remove your shoes and socks, so please take this into account.

The health checks are available for anyone over the age of 18.

The event is organised by the HEED Finland project Health is Wealth in collaboration with the Diak University of Applied Sciences.
