The Genesee County Health
Department has received a grant from
the Valley Area Agency on Aging (VAAA)
to provide health screening to
Genesee county residents age 60
years and older. The screening can
include: breast exams, Pap smears,
random cholesterol, blood glucose
testing and vaccines if needed.
Screening is free and will take
place at both the McCree Courts and
Human Services Center, 630 South
Saginaw Street, and the McCree North
Health and Human Services Center,
115 East Pierson Road. To make an
appointment, please call (810)
257-3840 or (810) 785-8530 and ask
for Senior Adult Health Screening.
Screening tests are important for
people of all ages, but become
especially necessary as we grow
older. Age increases the risk for
developing disease, such as breast,
colon or prostate cancer. Early
detection is the key to survival.
Unfortunately, due to limited
finances, many older people do not
seek or receive these life-saving
tests.
