Health fairs in December at Micronesia Mall

FREE health screenings available to all who attend

In an effort to improve the health of the community, TakeCare will be hosting its last health fair of the month on Saturday, December 3 and 10.

Free and open to the public, the health fair will be held from 11:00am to 5:00pm at the Micronesia Mall in corridor 4, across from Jeans Warehouse.

Participants can take advantage of free health screenings that will include body composition measurements (including body weight, body fat percentage, and body mass index), blood pressure, random blood glucose, and a brief diabetes risk survey. FHP Vision Center will provide free vision screenings.

“TakeCare is holding these health fairs to help those who participate learn more about their health,” said Ernest Aquino, TakeCare wellness team lead. “Information is key and while we are not diagnosing any conditions, we do encourage participants to be proactive and take their results to their primary doctor to learn how to lead a healthier and balanced lifestyle."

Guam Cancer Care, St. Luke’s Medical Center in Manila, Philippines, The Medical City referral office, ASC Trust, Guam Radiology Consultants and Guam Regional Medical City will also participate and provide information about their organizations and services.

During this open enrollment season, TakeCare members are invited to stop by and learn more about TakeCare’s comprehensive benefit plans, provider network, wellness programs and gym/fitness partners.
