HeartScreen #1 with Hearty Healthy Breakfast served January 9, 2011
Come a few minutes earlier than your appointment time (given at the Information Session or by contacting Jennifer Oliver 707.963.7143) - come hungry! Do NOT eat within 12 hours prior to your Heart Screen. The St. Helena Hospital Laboratory will be drawing blood to determine levels of cholesterol, triglycerides, and fasting blood sugar. This is normally a $125 cost - but is included in the price of the CHIP program.
After your Heart Screen, enjoy a wonderful breakfast prepared by our volunteers just for this occasion!
