A Community Health Check is being held in Exeter city centre on Saturday, 7th September. Everyone is invited to “know your numbers” as such values as BMI, blood pressure, blood sugar, and cholesterol are measured. The event will take place at St Stephen’s Church, High Street, Exeter from 10am to 4pm on the 7th September, and is free. There is no need to book, just turn up on the day.

The event is organised and staffed by volunteers from the Seventh-day Adventist Churches in Devon & Cornwall, including medical professionals, to offer a service to the public. At the last event at the Royal Cornwall Show over 200 people went through the health tests.

No diagnosis is offered or given, but when appropriate a letter is provided to the GP. A follow-up seminar on Stress Management is also planned for the following Saturday at 3pm in the Adventist Church on King William Street.
