🩺💙 FREE EKGs 💙🩺

Join us on the 30th from 10:00 AM to 1:00 PM at the Crockett Civic Center for our upcoming Community Health Fair!

One of the special services we are offering this year is FREE EKG screenings. An EKG (electrocardiogram) is a simple, painless test that checks the electrical activity of your heart.

❤️ Why get a free EKG? ❤️
EKGs can help detect early signs of heart problems, even if you are not experiencing symptoms. Early detection can lead to early treatment and better heart health outcomes. It’s a quick and valuable way to take charge of your wellness and peace of mind.

This event is a great opportunity to access free health screenings, learn about your health, and connect with community resources.

We hope to see you there!

If you have any questions, please call 936-544-2811.
