The event will be held on Saturday, Sept. 6, from 7 a.m. to noon in the hospital's lobby and parking lot, located at 29 N.W. First Lane in Lamar.
"We are excited about this event as it promotes the early detection and prevention of diseases such as strokes, heart failure, and diabetes through the screenings we offer," says Judy Good, RN, stroke program coordinator at Cox Barton.
