The first of an entire year of community events throughout the state offering free health screenings will be hosted this weekend in Indianapolis by Managed Health Services (MHS).

From noon to 3 p.m. Sunday at Emmanuel Missionary Baptist Church, located at 4958 Ribble Road, MHS’ Healthy Lifestyles event will offer blood pressure, glucose and cholesterol screenings. All screenings, in addition to an array of health- and wellness-related educational information, will be offered at no cost to those who attend.

“The screenings we will be offering are critically important as part of taking charge of overall healthcare maintenance and routine,” said MHS CEO Patrick Rooney. “MHS encourages everyone to have these screenings performed annually and take the necessary steps with their primary healthcare provider to treat any conditions needing attention or management.”

MHS staff will be available Sunday to provide information about the Hoosier Healthwise program, a healthcare program available to Indiana residents throughout the state. MHS will also be coordinating health-related giveaways for attendees of all ages throughout the event.

MHS members arrived for their pre-scheduled well-child check-ups and health education on September 28, 2009. Health Check Health Days are designed for MHS members to receive their routine check-ups. MHS works with the doctor to set aside time just for MHS patients. Then, MHS will send out a patient letter and a follow up phone call to those members that are due for a check-up.

The Members in attendance on Monday were very grateful for the chance to get their children in to the Doctor for their well-child check-ups. They were unaware that MHS provided this special service and were excited their children’s health plan was being pro-active.
