SBLI USA Mutual Life Insurance Company, Inc. To Host Third Health Awareness Day in the Walden Galleria Mall

Trocaire College School of Nursing Will Provide Health Related Seminars And Free Blood Pressure Readings

Buffalo, NY (PRWEB) April 17, 2005 -- SBLI USA Mutual Life Insurance Company, Inc., a financial services company committed to the financial empowerment of all people, will host its third Health Awareness Day tomorrow, Saturday, April 16th from 1:00 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. in the Community Room of the Walden Galleria Mall in Buffalo, New York.

Visitors to the Community Room, which is located on the upper-level, adjacent to the food court, will be able to receive blood pressure readings as well as height and weight checks from registered nurses in attendance. General information on heart-related illnesses as well as on nutrition, fitness and general health management will also be available.

Our aim this month is to bring to the public information that will raise their awareness of some important health issues," said Mike Hrabovsky, manager of SBLI USAs Buffalo Customer Center. We are focusing on three areas: blood pressure, cholesterol, and blood sugar. These are potential problem areas that are easy to identify but that may only become apparent as a result of a serious health event. With additional information, hopefully the general public will touch base with their medical providers to get checks on cholesterol and blood sugar. At our Health Awareness Day we will give them their blood pressure numbers!"
In addition to the blood pressure readings and height and weight checks, beginning at 1:30 p.m., the Trocaire College School of Nursing will host three seminars, and nurses from the school will be on hand throughout the day to answer health related questions.

The seminar schedule is as follows:
   
1:30 p.m. – Know Your Blood Pressure Number and Why It Is Important
2:15 p.m. – What You Need to Know About Cholesterol
3:00 p.m. – Blood Sugar and Diabetes
