Ingalls & Matteson Community Center to host kidney mobile screening

One in three Americans is at risk for kidney disease. Are you the one?

Take charge of your health and attend a free kidney and diabetes screening through the KidneyMobile program, sponsored by Ingalls Health System and the National Kidney Foundation of Illinois, Tuesday, Oct. 25, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Matteson Community Center.

Free screenings include blood pressure, blood sugar, body mass index, waist circumference, and urinalysis. All participants can have a private consultation with a medical professional about their results. Educational tours of the KidneyMobile also are available. Fasting is not required although a urine sample is.
