The Bedford Board of Health is partnering with Emerson Hospital to provide free health screenings on Bedford Day, Saturday, September 22nd from 9 am until 12 pm.
Free screenings include blood tests for cholesterol, PSA and TSH thyroid; pulmonary function testing and blood pressure screening provided by Emerson Hospital. If you are planning to have a cholesterol screening, please fast 9 to 12 hours before the test. Early identification and intervention of respective health issues can greatly reduce the risk of experiencing negative health outcomes.
The Board of Health will provide flu shots to Bedford residents 8 years of age and older. Please bring ID and insurance cards and look for the big white tent. For detailed information about the event or to acquire the flu vaccine registration form, please visit the Health Department website (link from www.bedfordma.gov) or call the Health Department at 781-275-6507.
If you’d like to save time, print and complete your flu shot registration form in advance of the Bedford Day by navigating to the Bedford Board of Health website and click on the button for Flu Clinic Information for the Community and download the Flu Registration Form. Bring this completed form and your insurance card to the Bedford Day clinic. We ask that anyone receiving a vaccination wear clothing that allows for easy access to their arm for vaccine administration.
