Health Screenings and
Women's Health Information
Wednesday, May 28, 2008 4pm - 6pm
Woodlawn Public Library, Wilmington, DE
To celebrate "Wellness Wednesdays" at the Woodlawn Public Library, Delaware Health Source (a Division of the Delaware Academy of Medicine) is partnering with Christiana Care to bring health information and free health screenings to library users.
Susan LaValley, consumer health librarian - New Castle County, will give a presentation about credible online resources for Women's Health, while representatives from Christiana Care will simultaneously provide cholesterol and blood pressure screenings. According to LaValley, "this is a perfect way to supply women information about certain health risks and to do screenings which may uncover an otherwise unknown condition". Christiana Care representatives will be on hand to provide screenings, and LaValley will be available to provide specific health information to patrons in a layperson's terms.
