Sister to Sister

Sister to Sister had another successful cardiovascular screening program on Tuesday, August 24, 2010 at 1st Mariner Arena in Baltimore.  The event included FREE cardiovascular screenings with immediate results and one-on-one counseling sessions with a medical professional.  The participants were screened for blood glucose, Total Cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, blood pressure, waist circumference and body mass index. 

We were grateful for the opportunity to speak with so many women that took the time out of their busy schedules to get screened, and were touched by their stories.  Women that were inspired to see that their numbers had improved in the last year... women that had lost their health insurance and were grateful for the chance to keep an eye on their health, and a few women whose numbers were dangerously high and had no idea!  If these screenings can bring awareness and possibly save one woman's life, then we consider it to be a huge success!

In addition to the screenings, there was a variety of health information, educational materials and giveaways.  CVS Pharmacy sponsored the "Ask the Pharmacist" sessions to answer your medication, prescription and general health questions.  The Fit Solution provided body fat composition readings for the attendees, which was very well received!

We would like to thank our sponsors for their generous support:
