Southcoast
Health, which has added a second Southcoast
Health Van, set up a health screening for employees of Fall River
Government Center and the public in the atrium off the first floor lobby
on November 7, 2014. Fall River Mass
in Motion Coordinator, Julianne Kelly, who arranged the screening,
stated "This is a terrific opportunity for employees and the public
to take a few minutes to learn if they have health problems that can be
spotted early and corrected through lifestyle
changes or medical treatment." The team of two nurses from
Southcoast Health spent four hours offering blood pressure, blood sugar and
cholesterol screenings at no charge. "We would much rather find
problems early when they can be successfully treated," noted
Southcoast nurse TerrI Gomes who works on the Health Van. A second van is
now used primarily for blood
donation drives which are also offered at Government Center from time
to time. Click
