Hospital staff will be at the library 9-11 a.m. Friday, Feb. 6, for National Wear Red Day, offering blood pressure checks and a five-minute screening for total cholesterol, HDL and LDL cholesterol, triglycerides and blood sugar. The most accurate results are achieved with a 12-hour fast.

The cost is $12, payable by cash or check. Appointments are preferred, but walk-ins will be accepted if space is available. To register, call 330-602-0779 or visit UnionHospital.org/Events.
