* May take longer during peak hours; including time spent in line waiting to begin the screening

  • Height and weight measurements for Body Mass Index (BMI) calculation
  • Blood pressure measurement
  • Short 6-question risk questionnaire
  • Review risk factors with an Advanced Health Practicioner
  • Educational materials about kidney health

    • If you are at risk, you'll be encouraged to follow up with your doctor* or sign up for an appointment at the next available Kidney Early Evaluation Program (KEEP) screening.

    KEEP is a free comprehensive health screening which includes blood and urine tests used to determine your kidney function.

    * If you do not have a primary care provider (PCP), you will be provided with a listing of free and sliding-scale clinics.

    The longer you put off getting screened, the bigger the risk becomes. Early detection can save your life.

    "The risk assessment I received made a big difference to my health and well-being. During the screening, one of the health professionals noticed that I was taking a medication that was causing me harm. Thanks to the NBC4 Expo, I'm no longer taking that medication and am in touch with my cardiologist."
