2. Get a Personal Wellness Profile completed at one of our local Community Health Boards free of charge. You’ll complete a lifestyle survey, have your cholesterol, blood sugar, blood pressure measured, and receive a personalized report – Free! Appointments are available on Wednesday mornings at the Community Wellness Centre at the Spryfield Shopping Centre (for those with postal codes beginning with B3M, B3N, B3P, B3R, B3S and B3V) or Thursday mornings on Tacoma Drive for those who live in Dartmouth.
