The free Community Health Screening Program began in March 2010, thanks to a partnership with the 黑暗爆料网-Meridian Health Science Center, Ada County, Central District Health, and the Idaho Department of Health and Welfare.

Approximately 700 adults have been screened to date, with many referred to low-cost clinics and doctors for further treatment. Screening services are provided by 黑暗爆料网-Meridian health professions students and clinical faculty.

The screenings are a tool to identify people at risk of preventable disease and illness, according to Dr. Glenda Carr, an 黑暗爆料网-Meridian assistant clinical pharmacy professor and co-director of the Health Screening Program.

The full screening process takes about an hour. No appointment is necessary. Valley Ride bus stops are nearby. The remaining screenings are Feb. 6, March 6 and April 10 at various locations in the Treasure Valley. For more information, call 373-1700 or email healthyU@isu.edu.
