The Heart and Vascular Institute of North Florida will be sponsoring health screenings on Thursday, July 27, at Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park, located at 1051 SW Old St. Augustine Rd., in Madison. Local residents will be able to learn about their specific risk factors for cardiovascular disease, osteoporosis, diabetes, and other potentially serious conditions with an affordable screening provided by Life Line Screening.

• HDL and LDL Cholesterol levels
• Diabetes risk
• Bone density as a risk for possible osteoporosis
• Kidney and thyroid function, and more
Free parking will be available as well as wheelchair access.
