Please join us on Saturday, August 17th from 10:00 am to 2:00 pm for our Healthy Heart Open House at the Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Vermont Information and Wellness Center, located in The Blue Mall in South Burlington!

This is the third of four health and wellness events that we are hosting at our Information and Wellness Center and this week’s event focuses on “promoting a healthy heart.” We have an exciting agenda of activities throughout the day. Free biometric screenings (cholesterol, blood pressure, glucose) and stroke assessments will be provided by certified health coaches from Fletcher Allen Health Care, as well as free body composition analysis with Carol VanGuilder, RN. Certified massage therapists, David Means and Beda Beeli, will also be providing free chair massages. At noon we will be offering a free catered lunch, while well-known cardiologist and speaker with the American Heart Association, Dr. Walter Gundel, presents on Preventing Heart Disease and Stroke.

Adults and children of all ages are welcome. Exchange specialists will be on hand to answer questions and offer support for all with questions about health care coverage and the upcoming health benefits exchange.
