Witham: Get a free health check
12:00pm Sunday 9th September 2012 in News
Get a free health check at the mobile health unit
A mobile health unit will be on hand during the next week to offer shoppers in Witham a free NHS health check.
It will be aimed at those aged 40 to 74 who are not already identified as having had a heart attack, stroke, angina or diabetes.
They should also not be on medicines for high cholesterol or high blood pressure as these people have already been screened by their GP and are being monitored regularly.
The mobile unit will be at Tesco in The Grove Centre, Witham, from tomorrow until next Sunday.
Appointments are available, but not essential, on 01206 288538.
