Health Screenings, Seminars and Classes
Throughout the year Weiss Memorial Hospital conducts multiple health screenings in the community and participates in several community health fairs, providing blood pressure, osteoporosis, cholesterol and other screenings, and a variety of literature to participants.
Weiss also offers monthly blood pressure screenings and quarterly hearing and cholesterol screenings, a cancer support group for women, a prostate cancer support group and several other health-related seminars and classes.
