Understanding the Importance of Regular Health Screenings

Your health is your greatest asset, and staying informed about your body’s condition is key to maintaining it. Regular health screenings are not just for those with existing conditions—they are essential for everyone, helping to detect potential issues early and ensure a proactive approach to wellness. At Northview Pharmacy, we’re committed to making healthcare accessible and stress-free, offering a range of in-store health screenings tailored to your needs.

Why Health Screenings Matter

Health screenings act as a first line of defense against illnesses. By identifying risk factors or early symptoms, you can take steps to prevent more serious complications. Whether it’s monitoring blood pressure, checking cholesterol levels, or understanding iron deficiencies, each test provides valuable insights into your overall health.

Our Screening Services

At Northview Pharmacy, we offer a comprehensive selection of screenings, including:

  • Blood Pressure (BP) Monitoring: High blood pressure is often called the “silent killer” because it typically shows no symptoms. Our quick and painless BP tests help you stay on top of your heart health.
  • Cholesterol Testing: Elevated cholesterol levels can lead to heart disease if left unchecked. Our accurate cholesterol tests provide a clear picture of your heart health.
  • Hemoglobin (Iron Level) Testing: Fatigue and weakness are common signs of anemia. Our iron level screenings help you understand your body’s needs and take corrective action.
  • HIV Testing: Our confidential and supportive HIV tests ensure privacy while providing critical information about your health.
  • Urine Testing: Detect urinary tract infections (UTIs) or general health concerns quickly and effectively.
