About one in six Oregonians 576,000 people are without health insurance.

Saturday, the Irrigon Lions Club will bring some of those individuals preventative healthcare.

The club is working with the Oregon Lions Sight & Hearing Foundation to offer free visual acuity, hearing, blood pressure, diabetes and glaucoma screenings at the Irrigon Marina. In conjunction with the Irrigon Watermelon Festival, a mobile health unit will be on scene at the Irrigon Marina Park from 10 a.m.-6 p.m. Volunteers and professionals will man each station, and all tests are free. Diabetes testing requires a three-hour fast prior to the test.

Last year the Lions mobile health trucks traveled 24,915 miles in the state of Oregon and provided free health screenings to 27,540 Oregonians. Among those screened, 10,030 potential health problems were identified.

Saturdays free screening is made possible by the Oregon Lions Mobile Health Screening Program, Regence and Albina Fuel.
