Health screenings save lives. Early detection of conditions such as hypertension or
elevated blood sugar can help prevent serious diseases like diabetes and heart disease that kill thousands of
Mississippians every year.
Health screening is quick and easy. You can have your weight, blood pressure and blood
sugar checked in just a few minutes by public health professionals. It doesn’t hurt, and it takes no special
preparation.
Screenings events are free. Health screening events are public services from the Mississippi Department of
Health and their partners. All our screenings are done at no cost to you.
