PRESS RELEASE PARKWAY SHENTON PARTICIPATES IN COMMUNITY HEALTH SCREENING PROJECT FOR THE ELDERLY SINGAPORE, 9 January 2012 - Senior citizens aged 55 years and above who live in the Chinatown, Chin Swee and Jalan Kukoh areas will get to enjoy a free health screening for a full day, courtesy of Parkway Shenton, a major provider of primary healthcare services.

This is in conjunction with a community health screening project led by nursing students of the Bachelor of Science (Nursing) programme from the National University of Singapore (NUS) and supported by their undergraduate peers from the faculties of Medicine and Pharmacy. Some 120 senior citizens have already pre-registered their interest for the session.
On Saturday 14 January, a team of more than 50 medical practitioners and volunteers will be stationed at Yong-En Care Centre located at Block 335A, Smith Street #03-57, from 9.00 a.m. to
3.00 p.m.
Health screening for the senior citizens will include assessing mobility and ability to perform daily tasks, including tests for body mass index, blood pressure, capillary blood glucose levels, visual acuity, screening for Alzheimer's and depression. Parkway Shenton's team comprising Chief Executive Officer Dr Chai Chin Yoong, Dr Koh Hau-Tek, Dr Crystal Ng and Dr Jason Yap will provide medical consultation and advice following the health screening exercise.

Dr Chai Chin Yoong, Chief Executive Officer of Parkway Shenton, said, "Health screening is essential for everyone and especially important for the elderly. Health screening helps medical practitioners spot the onset of many illnesses and enables us to monitor pre-existing conditions and provide appropriate treatment and care. Apart from doing our bit for the community, Parkway Shenton hopes that through this exercise, we can help nurture future healthcare leaders as well as instill in them the spirit of volunteerism."
