Scottsdale Healthcare’s Women’s Health Services is making it easier for busy women in the Phoenix area to get their health screenings done.

Through the summer, they will be offering a "Working Women's Wellness Package on Saturdays! This package combines a cholesterol, bone density and body composition screening followed by a manicure at the Essential Touch Wellness Center.

The screenings include an ultrasound of the heel to determine a person’s risk for osteoporosis, a cholesterol test, a significant risk factor for heart disease and weight check to learn body fat percentage and Body Mass Index (BMI).

Patients must fast 10 hours prior to their appointment. Nurses will discuss the results of the screenings, risk factors, preventative measures and nutrition.
