Orland Township is hosting Total Lipid Profile testing on Jan. 20, at 14807 S. Ravinia Ave. from 8:30-11 a.m. Residents may have total cholesterol levels read, as well as triglycerides, LDL (bad cholesterol) and HDL cholesterol (good cholesterol).
The price of the test is $25, with proof of residency. Non-residents may also participate for $30. Glucose testing is available for an additional $5 for both residents and non-residents. An appointment is necessary and participants must bring proof of residency on the day of testing.
High cholesterol can cause a multitude of health problems, such as heart disease and heart attack so it is important to maintain healthy cholesterol levels to avoid these dangerous and life-threatening problems. By testing cholesterol levels regularly, higher levels are discovered sooner, rather than later and improvements can be made. Orland Township provides residents and non-residents the opportunity to monitor cholesterol levels in order to stay healthy and happy.
To make an appointment, call 708-403-4222.
