To help area residents learn about their possible risk factors, Lakeland HealthCare is offering walk-in wellness screenings at Lakeland Rehabilitation Services at the Niles-Buchanan YMCA, 905 N. Front St., Niles.
Set for Friday, Sept. 4, from 7 to 11 a.m., the screenings offered include:
• Cholesterol Lipid Panel (12-hour fasting cholesterol). This screening helps determine the risk of heart disease. Cost is $39.
• Osteoporosis Health Screen (bone density screen). The Achilles Express uses ultrasound to evaluate bone status in the heel, providing a T-score for determining bone density. Cost is $29.
• Body Composition Analysis (body fat percentage). Determines accurate body composition in less than 10 seconds, and an analysis calculates the amount of fat mass to be lost in order to achieve a healthy body fat percentage. Cost is $29.
