LUNCH & LEARN |
NOVEMBER 6 | Allen Center Classroom | 12:30 PM-1:30 PM
In partnership with Franciscan Health, Dr. Atul Chugh will highlight the importance of medical screenings. Screenings are quick medical tests used to identify signs or symptoms of a health condition early on, when they may be easier to treat. Taking care of yourself prevents health problems and can save on the cost of treating diseases in the long run – the cost to your health
and your wallet.
