In celebration of National Hospital Week, Bryan W. Whitfield Memorial Hospital will offer free health screenings.

The screenings will be Thursday, May 15 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. in the BWWMH Main Lobby. The free check up will cover blood pressure, blood sugar, cholesterol, body mass index (BMI) and varicose veins.

The event is sponsored by the Bryan W. Whitfield Memorial Hospital, GROWestAL Division, Two Rivers Surgical Associates and Wellness Center.

The hospital will also host a lunch and learn Monday, May 12 with oncologist Dr. Shawn Tai.
