Trained volunteers will test you for blood pressure, diabetes, glaucoma, hearing and vision. Screening is free and participants each receive written results to take with them to their physician in case additional care is indicated. At last year’s visit, nine clients were identified with seriously high eye pressure and at risk for vision loss.

This mobile health screening unit is being replaced and $150,000 has been raised by Lions Clubs in the Northwest region for a new unit, to hit the road next year.
