\"\"Offers Free Cholesterol Checks Through COACH Program<\/em><\/p>\n

Orange County, FL<\/strong> \u2013 The Orange County Medical Clinic (OCMC), a division of the Orange County Government, today announced it will provide free health screenings to all adults from September 10 – 12, 2025, as part of National Cholesterol Awareness Month. The County Outreach Awareness Community Health (COACH) team will offer services in the mobile medical unit, which will be set up in OCMC\u2019s parking lot.<\/p>\n

Health screenings will include blood pressure, blood sugar, and cholesterol. If a person\u2019s numbers are high, the staff can provide resources within the Primary Care Access Network (PCAN), a network of healthcare providers in Orange County that aims to improve access to healthcare for uninsured and underinsured residents.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is imperative for people to be aware of their cholesterol levels,\u201d said Jessica Rodriguez, division manager for OCMC. \u201cHigh cholesterol symptoms are not always obvious, but can lead to more serious health complications like heart attacks and strokes. We want to make sure our community is informed of the resources available to prevent these serious health issues.\u201d<\/p>\n
