DMC Men’s Health Night is June 20

ELKINS, W.VA. – Surveys display that men are much less likely than women to visit a medical doctor for chronic care and crucial health screenings. Davis Medical Center is supplying guys over 50 with an opportunity to learn how to stay on top of fitness troubles and ways to prevent ailments throughout the Men’s Health Night. The occasion is scheduled for Thursday, June 20, from five to 7 p.m. On the Phil Gainer Community Center, located at Robert E. Lee Ave. In Elkins.

“Men may not be comfortable speaking about their fitness. But this may come at a high rate if they leave out on getting potentially lifesaving screenings,” said Dr. Catherine M. Chua, DMC Chief Medical Officer. “This 12 months, we can offer hearing, PSA, BMI, BP, Diabetic Screening, and Total Cholesterol Checks. We may even have WVU Heart and Vascular Institute participants speaking on vital topics.”

Health screenings start at 5 p.m. And include:

– DMC Cardio Pulmonary- Blood stress assessment, cardiac risk evaluation, and BMI – frame mass index.

– Hearing exams are achieved by using Advanced Hearing Solutions.

– PSA blood screening (unique prostate antigen) shows prostate cancer prostatitis or an enlarged prostate.

– Sleep Apnea Screening and FENO checking out.

– Diabetic screening/glucose checks.

– Broaddus Hospital Physical Therapy- “Five sporting activities to lessen knee pain.”

– DMC Population Health- Total Cholesterol Checks

“We purposefully plan the evening to be an at ease, comfortable environment for visitors to analyze and ask questions,” event coordinator Chad Ware stated. “Davis Medical Center is the place’s primary healthcare resource, and we need to ensure we provide opportunities designed mainly for positive populations, like guys.” “Another draw to the occasion is the fact there’s no fee: free screenings, a fantastic dinner, data, and door prizes all without charge. You can’t beat that,” Ware introduced.

Dinner is included in the event and will be served at 6 p.m. During the meal, fitness specialists will give talks and answer questions. Speakers consist of:

· Dr. Dean Wolz from the West Virginia University Heart and Vascular Institute

· Dr. David Tingler from the West Virginia University Heart and Vascular Institute
