Routine health screenings

Health screenings save lives. You could have high blood pressure (hypertension) or blood sugar (type 2 diabetes) and not know because there are no obvious symptoms. If any of these risk factors apply to you, visit one of Parkland’s Access to Care and Coverage community hubs to get screened at no cost to you!

  • have been diagnosed with prediabetes
