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.

Health screening van a hit at Touch a Truck event

Our club had the Lions health screening unit at Poulsbo Village Shopping Center August 23, and screened eyes, ears, took blood pressures and blood sugar readings. Above, Lions JanetMarie Valiga with Leo the Lion (Joe) and Pauline Ostheller.

 

Every year, kids and their families flock to the Poulsbo Village Shopping Center to sit in trucks, climb into a bus and on other equipment, honk horns and sit in police cars and ambulances.
