Let’s kick off Heart Health Awareness Month with important cardiometabolic health screenings from MGB Newton-Wellesley Hospital — no appointment necessary. The A1C test measures your average blood glucose (sugar) level over the past three months and helps identify your risk for prediabetes and diabetes. According to the CDC, diabetes affects 1 in 10 people, and nearly one quarter of those living with the condition are undiagnosed. During the screening, the NWH team will also check blood pressure, assess body composition, and provide counseling to help you understand your results. This FREE service is designed to give community members valuable information to support their long-term health and well-being. This program is offered through MGB Newton-Wellesley Hospital’s Community Collaborative Heart Health and Wellness Council.
