A community health screening for Mathews County residents will be held from 5-7 o’clock tonight, Thursday, April 15, at Antioch Baptist Church, 110 Antioch Road, Susan.

Screening services offered will include body mass index, blood pressure checks, and HbA1c (test for determining diabetes).

Screenings will be conducted by clinical staff and volunteers of Gloucester Mathews Care Clinic, and this screening is made possible through a grant from the Mathews Rotary Club. Rotarians will also be on hand to provide additional volunteer support.

Participants will also receive health information related to diabetes and hypertension, information on eligibility and services offered by GMCC, along with healthy snacks. Those without health insurance are encouraged to attend. GMCC is partnering with Mathews Rotary Club and Antioch Church to provide this community service.
