Save to Favorites

There’s going to be a KEEP Healthy Screening on Saturday, November 5th in Alexandria, VA at the George Washington Middle School near Braddock Road Station. This is part of Access Alexandria's Health Fair! Learn more about the health fair here:http://www.accessalexandria.org/2016-health-fair/

The screening will run from 9am-4:30pm. We will have two volunteer shifts, from 9-1 and from 1-4:30pm. We will also conduct an overview and training on-site 15 minutes before each shift. The screening consists of a short survey, BMI check, blood pressure check, urinalysis, and a brief consultation with a doctor.

What is a KEEP Healthy Check-up?

KEEP Healthy is a public health screening designed for large health fairs, expos, and large employers because it targets the general public who may not be aware of the risk factors for kidney disease. The assessment consists of physical measurements, blood pressure, a risk survey and a consultation with an advanced health professional.

We need a Spanish speaker to assist with interpretation or to conduct screenings if they are a clinician
