During May 2013, Sacred Heart Health System will provide a variety of free health screenings in Pensacola and Milton, and a free oral-health screening in Gulf Shores, Ala. Certain locations will provide particular screenings including those for heart health, osteoporosis and oral health.

Heart-health screenings measure blood pressure, blood sugar and total cholesterol and can detect anemia. These screenings are helpful in diagnosing conditions that put people at high risk for heart attack, stroke, diabetes and other health problems. Bone-density screenings aid in the detection of osteoporosis.
