      Community members are invited to take advantage of free health screenings throughout the month at two Pasadena Public Library branches.

      By Melanie Hooks

      The Santa Catalina and La Pintoresca branches will offer on-site health services provided by registered nurses from Huntington Health, an affiliate of Cedars-Sinai.

      The screenings will include blood pressure and blood glucose checks, health education, and referrals — all at no cost and without the need for an appointment. Attendees are advised to fast for at least two hours before undergoing the blood glucose test.

      Library Screening Times

      • Santa Catalina Branch

      • La Pintoresca Branch

      These services are designed to promote wellness and provide easy access to preventive care for all community members.
