We invite you to take advantage of our convenient monthly health screening programs at your local senior center. The clinics are conducted during Senior Club Meetings. No appointment is necessary and there is no charge for this service.

The topics are presented by a registered nurse in an engaging manner that is both educational and enjoyable.
