Arlington Hts. to hold cholesterol screenings in Feb.

To commemorate National Heart Awareness Month, the village of Arlington Heights is offering cholesterol screenings at a reduced cost.

The screenings will be held from 8:30 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. on Saturday, Feb. 8, and Wednesday, Feb. 12, in the Health Services department on the first floor of Village Hall, 33 S. Arlington Heights Road.

Total, HDL, & LDL cholesterol screenings will be $15 — instead of the usual $20 — and this test requires a 12-hour fast. Medicare cannot be billed for this service as the village is not an approved provider. Also available are free blood pressure readings and weight with body mass index and body fat analysis.
