Screening for chronic diseases (cardiovascular risks, type 2 diabetes, hypertension)

Diabetes and cardiorespiratory diseases can occur without any symptoms and are among the leading potentially preventable causes of death. Prevention relies on early detection and prompt management to avoid serious complications.  

 

Eligibility

For individuals age 18 to 75 who are in good health, without a diagnosis of diabetes, heart disease or hypertension, whether or not they have a family doctor.
