MOBILE CLINIC
Cigna offers free health, skin cancer screenings in Mesa, Peoria
Posted
INDEPENDENT NEWSMEDIA
Cigna’s Health Improvement Tour mobile clinic will stop in Mesa and Peoria this week, offering free biometric health and skin cancer screenings.
Through biometric screenings, people can learn their blood pressure, blood sugar, cholesterol and body mass index.
“Knowing these numbers can help catch conditions like heart disease or diabetes early before they become more serious,” Cigna officials said in a release.
Health coaches will help people understand their results, explain how to take follow-up steps to improve their overall wellness and encourage them to discuss their results with their healthcare provider, the release stated.
“While these screeners aren’t a substitute for a regular physical exam by a health care provider, it may indicate possible risk factors that people can discuss with their doctors,” Cigna officials said.
The mobile clinic will be at Mesa Community College, 1833 W. Southern Ave., from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 15.
It will stop by Rio Vista Park, 8866 W. Thunderbird Road in Peoria, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 16.
