Novant Health: Know Your Numbers

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — From bank accounts to birthdays, you know a lot of numbers by heart. But do you know three key numbers that could help save your life? We often disregard – or don’t even know – our blood pressure, BMI, glucose levels. But knowing these numbers is vital to one’s health.

That’s why Novant Health encourages you to “know your numbers” and offers free health screenings at big community events. Last year, nearly 500 people were screened at their CIAA Health Pavilion, where one woman learned she was a critical diabetic.

Dr. Eric Warren, medical director of sports medicine at Novant Health is here to explain more about these potentially lifesaving screenings.

To learn more about your numbers, stop by the Novant Health Pavilion during the CIAA Fan Fest. Free screenings will be offered Friday from 10 to 7 and Saturday from 9:30 to 7. If you come for a screening tomorrow at 2, you’ll hear Sonya Curry, mother of NBA All Star Steph Curry, discussing how to “raise greatness”, an added bonus to these health screenings.
