A women's heart & lifestyle screening will be held at Northwest Hospital on Thursday, May 28 with appointments starting at 3:00 p.m. Please call 410-601-WELL to pre-register. A 6-hour fasting is recommended for this test, which allows you to eat breakfast.

The screening will be held at the Northwest Hospital Education Center, 5401 Old Court Rd., Randallstown, MD, 21133.
