Free wellness checks, body composition analysis, and counseling to help prevent disease will be offered at the Drayson Center Preventive Care Clinic Open House at Loma Linda University Health on July 30. The open house, free to the public, is set for 3 to 7 p.m. The event will be held at Loma Linda University Drayson Center, 25040 Stewart St., Loma Linda. “We are inviting the public to an open house for a unique type of clinic, where there are no medical tests, pills, or prescriptions,” said Dr. Hildemar Dos Santos, assistant professor in the Preventive Care Program at Loma Linda University School of Public Health and director of the Drayson Center Preventive Care Clinic. “The clinic’s focus is helping patients change their unhealthy behaviors. Did you know that many patients who have or are at high risk for diabetes, hypertension, cholesterol, and heart disease will improve their health if they stop smoking, lose weight, start exercising, control stress, and so on? That is why the Drayson Center Preventive Care Clinic was created: to help, motivate and guide patients towards a pathway of health and prevention of chronic diseases.” Among the booths and activities planned for the open house include: body composition checks and counseling; blood glucose checks; Full Plate Diet booth; health brochures and posters; Blue Zone Health and Longevity Class booth; blood pressure checks; waist and hip circumference testing booth; hand grip and strength test booth; a view of the medicinal herbal garden; and healthy snacks.
