Kalkaska Memorial Health Center Community Outreach  

We are here to help people who are ill and injured, but we also are committed to helping our community stay healthy. One important way to stay healthy is through regular health screenings. That’s why our community outreach nurse travels to sites around Kalkaska County to screen for high blood pressure and high blood sugar. These screenings allow for early detection and early treatment, which can prevent life- threatening complications.

Convenient, Free Screenings

Did you know that you could have hypertension (high blood pressure) or diabetes without any symptoms? Kalkaska Memorial Health Center provides screenings for high blood pressure, hemoglobin, and high blood sugar. 

One of our nurses visits each senior meal site in Kalkaska County, as well as sites in Fife Lake, Mancelona, and Bellaire to perform blood pressure and blood sugar tests at no cost. Scheduled dates and times are posted in senior newsletters throughout the area. 

Our community outreach nurse also provides flu shots each fall at Kalkaska County senior meal sites, as well as the Fife Lake meal site and Fife Lake American Legion.
