The Lions Health Screening Van, a free service of the Orcas Island Lions and Lions Clubs International, will be on Orcas Island for two days: April 6 and 7.

This free screening covers: blood pressure, glaucoma, diabetes, sight and hearing.  The van will be in front of Island Market on Prune Alley.

Since the start of this free service, the Lions Health Screening volunteers have screened more than 1,800 islanders.  These screenings have alerted a number of islanders about looming health problems such as hearing issues, high blood pressure and other ailments that would not have been caught normally.  So please come out and get screened, your health may depend on it.

The Lions Health Screening Van will be staffed by volunteers utilizing professional screening equipment. Hours are 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. For more info, contact Karen or Toby Hiller, 376-5333.
