Overlake Medical Center will offer free health screenings and cardiac and diabetes risk assessments in September during its third annual Eastside Vitality Health Month.

There will be community health fairs held weekly throughout September from 8-11 a.m. on:

• Sept. 6 at Overlake Medical Clinics Kirkland

• Sept. 13 at Overlake Medical Clinics Issaquah

• Sept. 20 at Overlake Medical Clinics Redmond

• Sept. 27 at Overlake Medical Center Main Campus in Bellevue

“We are committed to keeping our community healthy. By offering important health screenings across the Eastside, we hope to help people prevent serious health conditions before they occur and encourage them to manage conditions they may already have,” said J. Michael Marsh, Overlake’s president and CEO.

In addition, Eastside Vitality Health Month will serve as an opportunity for the community to familiarize themselves with the different Overlake Medical Clinics’ primary care physicians and cardiologists. The final event at the main hospital campus in Bellevue will feature additional skin cancer spot checks, target heart rate readings and body mass index assessments, as well as carotid ultrasounds for those with high risk screening results. There will also be Overlake surgeons on hand to demonstrate robotic surgery and nutritionists available to discuss diabetes and tips for eating healthy.  In addition, there will be CPR and automatic external defibrillator (AED) demonstrations by the Bellevue Fire Department.

Walk-ins are welcome, but screenings are limited. Pre-registration is recommended for all dates except Sept. 27. For full event details and to register, visit: www.overlakehospital.org/eastsidevitality.
