Health Programs
There is an ongoing focus on health and wellness at the LEC. The kitchen aims to serve nutritionally balanced meals, several classes available each month focus on wellness and nutrition, and the fitness center encourages and enables individuals to increase strength and/or endurance.
Semi-annual Health Fairs are generally held in April and September with the support of multiple area Health and Education Partners.
The National Kidney Foundation’s Kidney Early Evaluation Program (KEEPTM) offers free screening for those at risk – anyone 18 years and older with high blood pressure, diabetes or a family history of kidney disease. It is designed to raise awareness about kidney disease among high risk individuals and provide free testing and educational information, so that kidney disease and its complications can be prevented or delayed. Find out more about KEEP here. The LEC hosts a KEEP screening anually and the upcoming opportunity is set for August 16, 2012.
