We encourage attendees to take advantage of this health fair at our Go Red Luncheon and “Know Your Numbers”: cholesterol, blood pressure and BMI. It is an easy first step to good heart health.” The health-fair featuring physician meet and greet, screenings and education is offered from 11am - 12noon. The silent auction also begins at 11am and lunch is served at 12 noon as the welcome and presentation begins.
“Heart disease is the number one cause of death in Arkansas and that Arkansas is in the top 5 in the nation for heart disease, diabetes, strokes and heart attacks?
