If you need your blood pressure or glucose levels checked, you can get it done for free on Saturday, May 20 at Emory Johns Creek Hospital.
That day, the hospital will offer free health screenings and plenty of exercise at its annual “5K Scrub Run and Community Health Festival.”
These services will be available including: cholesterol, glucose, blood pressure, bone density and body mass index (BMI) calculations starting at 8 a.m. Physicians will offer casual consultations to those attending.
The event will kick off at 8 a.m. followed by the “Fun Run” at 9 a.m. for children ages 10 and under.
Those looking to register for the race can do so at active.com. Race registration begins at 6:30 a.m.
An Emory Healthcare surgeon who focuses on robotic surgery, along with supporting medical staff, will give the public an up-close look at the hospital’s “da Vinci Surgical System,” demonstrating how robotic surgery works.
An awards ceremony and raffle will take place after race participants finish the course. This family-friendly event will also include face painting for children, a bouncy house, free food, music and access to dozens of community vendors.
All proceeds from the event will benefit the Chattahoochee High School Cross Country Team and the Emory Johns Creek Hospital Foundation.
