ATTENTION SENIORS – TAKE ADVANTAGE OF FREE HEALTH SCREENINGS BEING PROVIDED IN SO. SAN FRANCISCO MARCH 15

Seniors in North San Mateo County have a great opportunity this month to get free health care screenings and information at the 16th Annual Senior Health & Fitness Fair.

The big event which attracts more than 500 seniors is sponsored by the City of South San Francisco Senior Services, Kaiser Permanente South San Francisco and Westborough Royale Assisted Living.

It is important that quality care and services be provided to help our senior citizens to live as healthy and productive life as possible.

The free Senior Health Fair takes place from 9 a.m. to noon on Friday, March 15, 2013, at the Municipal Services Building, 33 Arroyo Drive, South San Francisco.

At the event, seniors will be able to take advantage of these free services:

• Blood pressure, cholesterol, glaucoma, vision and body fat screenings.
• Talk with a pharmacist about managing medications and supplements.
• Learn about maintaining a healthy heart, and dealing with women’s and men’s health issues.
