Last month staff from TJH Medical, Flushing and Jamaica Hospital Medical Center participated in a health and wellness event to benefit members of Local 731, a labor union located in Astoria, Queens.
Over three hundred members of the union participated in this event and over 100 screenings were performed.
The screenings that were offered included blood pressure, dental, ophthalmology, podiatry, pulmonary function and pulse oximetry. Hospital staff also staff provided health and wellness information on hypertension, cholesterol, asthma, bariatric surgery, sleep apnea, wound care, women’s health, nutrition, drug interactions, and diabetes.
Members of Local 731 greatly appreciated all of the screenings and educational materials that MediSys Health Network provided them. According to Dr. Andrew Rubin, Director of Community Affairs for MediSys “We look forward to continuing our relationship with Local 731 and provide them with many beneficial services”.
