Free Kidney Screening at Immaculate Conception Parish Hall
The National Kidney Foundation is offering a free kidney screening through its KEEP Healthy program on Tuesday, March 28 at Immaculate Conception Parish Hall, 150 South Maple Avenue in Clarksburg, W. Va., from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.
To register for KEEP Healthy, contact the National Kidney Foundation at 412-261-4115 x759.
All KEEP Healthy participants will answer a brief health-risk survey and have their height, weight and blood pressure measured. At-risk individuals will have their kidney health checked through a simple, onsite, ACR urine test. The ACR test can identify protein in the urine, which is often the first sign of kidney disease. Free educational materials will be provided and a medical professional will review results and answer questions from participants.
The screening is funded through a grant from the Highmark Foundation.
