From 9 a.m. to noon on Friday, Feb. 3, the mobile mammogram unit from The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center will set up outside the Evans Center in Windsor Park at 4330 Dudley Ave. This advanced unit launched in 2009 was the first in central Ohio to offer 100-percent digital X-ray capabilities which produces images more quickly than traditional methods.
The service is offered for routine mammograms only for patients with no current medical issues and no previous breast cancer. Women aged 35 to 39 require a prescription; 40 and older do not. The cost is $95 due at the time of service; insurance can be billed under the James Cancer Hospital.
Appointments are highly encouraged; call 614-293-4455 or 800-240-4477 to set one up. Walk-ins are accepted as time allows.
According to the American Heart Association, walking is one of the most popular physical activity choices. Walking is low impact and is easier on the joints than running. It is safe – with a doctor’s okay – for people with orthopedic ailments, heart conditions and those who are more than 20% overweight. In addition, research has shown that you could gain two hours of life for each hour of regular exercise.
Every Saturday morning from 9 to 10 a.m. people are gathering in Grove City for Walk With a Doc at Fryer Park. Walkers meet at the fishing dock located near the ball fields in Fryer Park, located at 3899 Orders Road (just behind the Grove City YMCA).
At each walk participants receive free registration, blood pressure checks, energizing food and beverage. Frequent walkers have the opportunity to earn special prizes. While you walk at your own pace, you’ll have the opportunity to have questions answered by local physicians.
You don’t need special gear and there are no rules. Just put on a pair of comfortable shoes and walk alone, with friends or family or with a group. What better way to start your weekend than on your feet making strides to help your heart and improve your general health.
If there is threatening weather, contact the Grove City YMCA at 614-871-9622 for cancellation information.
