 Pikeville Medical Center will be at Hillbilly Days 2024, providing free health screenings for the public. Check their tent in front of the Pikeville United Methodist Church on Main Street for blood pressure, blood glucose, and skin cancer screenings, as well as some useful information for all. Pikeville Medical Center chest pain coordinator, Jamisa Scott, tells us more. During Hillbilly Days, PMC always tries to have a booth to offer a few things. So this year we're going to do blood pressure screenings and glucose screening and give out some education about heart attacks and chest pain. Blood pressure is a very important component of not only heart disease but also strokes. So we want to get those numbers and give you information about how to control your blood pressure and what is normal and what can be considered high and when you should get treatment from your physician. American Heart Association is also pushing and wanting people to know that heart disease is the number one killer in the United States. Just see everything in moderation as far as, you know, the junk food, the great donuts and the fried Oreos, and because I like those too, but we still need to try to get our good foods and get some exercise in. Do you worry about having enough money to last throughout retirement? Give Reed Potter at Raymond James a call. Reed has 26 years experience helping folks enjoy their best life in their retirement years. The IMC will also be handing out free sunscreen to whoever stops by their booth. Their job is to not only help inform but prevent health risks. Anybody that wants to can stop by our booth and let us check out any areas of concern they have on their arms. Let us look at that with a lamp and then we will be assisting people to set up appointments with dermatology if they have any suspicious lesions. We'll also be giving out sunscreen and encouraging people to use it especially, you know, outside downtown for hours at Hibbley Days. Prevention of course is very important sunscreen, long sleeve shirts, hats, sunglasses, stuff like that so we'll be encouraging that as well. Education is the most important thing that we can do and that's a lot of what I do as a community outreach coordinator. Just trying to get that education out there for prevention and early detection.
