Mercy Offers Wellness Screening in St. Charles

Mercy, with sponsorship from Boeing and Mercy Health Foundation, is offering a Wellness Screening event from 7:30 to 11 a.m. on Saturday, June 29, at Mercy Zumbehl Road, 1820 Zumbehl Rd., in St. Charles. The event will provide an assessment of risk factors for heart disease, diabetes, breast cancer, colon cancer and other issues that affect good health.

Free screenings for blood pressure, cholesterol, blood sugar and body mass can help health care professionals assess health. For $100, the first 14 online registrants can participate in a three-part vascular screening for carotid (stroke), aorta (aneurysm) and ABIs (arterial insufficiency).

All heart screening participants must register individually and bring a printed e-Ticket to the event (sent to email address after registering). Register online at mercy.net/stlwellness.

The Mercy St. Louis Mammography Van will also be onsite. Cost of the screening mammogram is billed to your insurance provider. Women between age 40 and 64 with no insurance (or a high deductible) may be eligible for a free mammogram. To find out more or schedule a mammogram, please call 314-251-6300 or 800-446-3742.

In addition to the wellness screenings, the event will offer:
