Life just got sweeter with free AMITA Health screenings at Schaumburg Park District locations.

Free screenings are being offered most Wednesdays this February through a partnership between the District and AMITA Health.

During the screenings, an AMITA Health nurse will check blood pressure, perform body fat/body analysis and assess stroke risk.

"For many people, the beginning of a new year is a time to make health and wellness a priority," said Charissa Tischhauser, fitness supervisor for the District. "Getting a health screening is a great first step in fulfilling the promise to yourself of having a healthy new year!"

Appointments are recommended for cholesterol screenings. Registration is available at amitahealth.org/cholesterolscreening.

• 8-11 a.m., Feb. 9, Community Recreation Center/Water Works lobby, 505 N. Springinsguth Road (cholesterol screening)

• 8-11 a.m., Feb 14, Meineke Recreation Center, 220 E. Weathersfield Way
