Overlake Medical Center and its clinics will offer free health screenings, cardiac and diabetes risk assessments and speak directly with physicians this month during Overlake’s second annual Eastside Vitality Health Month.

There will be community health fairs from 8-11 a.m. on:

• Sept. 14 at Overlake Medical Clinics Highmark in Issaquah (5708 E. Lake Sammamish Pkwy. S.E.)

• Sept. 21 at Overlake Medical Clinics Redmond (Redmond Town Center: 16315 N.E. 74th St.)

• Sept. 28 at Overlake Medical Center Main Campus in Bellevue (1135 116th Ave. N.E., Suite #110)

“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 Craig Hendrickson, 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, carotid screenings (based on referral only), target heart rate readings and body mass index readings. There will also be Overlake surgeons on hand to demonstrate the da Vinci Surgical System 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.

Pre-registration is required for all dates except Sept. 28. For full event details and to register, visit www.overlakehospital.org/eastsidevitality.
