Free health screenings August 11 and 12

 

The Lions Health Screening Unit will be at Poulsbo Fishline August 11 from 10 to 3 and the Poulsbo Village Touch-a-Truck event August 12 from 10 to 1. We give free health screenings for children and adults to check for glaucoma, diabetes, high blood pressure, and sight and hearing loss which are key to interventions in potentially life-threatening health problems.

23 screened for health issues at Fishline lot

 

Poulsbo Lions Club health screened 23 people at NK Fishline in Poulsbo. If even 1 person identified a health issue it was worth it, despite the 90+ heat. It takes about 7 volunteers per shift and the financial support of many clubs to make this van available to our communities. Lions Herb Armstrong and Ken Rury are shown above with Mike - a volunteer. They greeted people before they entered the unit.
