His and Her Health Matters

October 26, 2024

Riverside Health, 100 Black Men Virginia Peninsula Chapter and the Hampton Roads Prostate Health Forum have come together to offer men and women in our neighborhood information to improve their health and well-being- because his and her health matters- to you, your loved ones and our community. 

Join us for a special presentation by Riverside Health at 9:00 a.m. to learn about screenings and protecting your health… because it matters to you, your loved ones and our community.

FREE Prostate Cancer Screening
A blood draw and digital rectal exam to detect prostate cancer.

Breast Cancer Awareness Information
Breast cancer can happen to anyone, even young women. Empower yourself with information for early detection. Team members will be onsite to assist with scheduling mammograms. If you are uninsured or unable to afford a mammogram, we have options for support.

FREE Diabetes Check
An A1C blood draw to diagnose and monitor diabetes and prediabetes.

FREE Blood Pressure Check
Blood pressure is checked for overall health, because high blood pressure is a risk factor for heart attack and stroke and low blood pressure may lead to falls, heart problems and stroke.

FREE Body Mass Index (BMI) Assessment
A calculation that estimates body fat to assess risk of diabetes, heart attack and stroke.

Lung Cancer Awareness Information
Did you know that you can screen for lung cancer if you are between the ages of 50 and 80 and have a 20-pack year history of smoking? Team members will be onsite with information on Low Dose CT screening (LDCT).
