Hamilton Place Mall Hosts Health Fair - In honor of American Heart Month, Memorial Heath Care System teamed up with Belk to offer free health screenings Saturday in Chattanooga.
The health fair took place at Belk's Hamilton Place Mall store.
The fair supports Belk's campaign called Heart Truth.
Health professionals checked visitors' blood pressure and body mass index.
They also handed out healthy recipes and health tips.
"A lot of people don't have the opportunity to get regular checkups so to have the opportunity to get your blood pressure checked for free and it only takes a few seconds, it's a really great idea," says Molly Sassee, who attended the screenings.
Research shows that heart disease is one of the leading causes of death for women.
