HUNTINGTON -- If Tri-State residents can't bring themselves to the hospital for a health screening, it seems the physicians at Cabell Huntington Hospital will do what they can to come to them.

The hospital hosts Healthy Senior Wednesday each week at the Huntington Mall, where specialists from the hospital provide screenings and information for seniors.

This week, the event focused on women's health in recognition of Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Exams during the event included screenings for osteoporosis, blood pressure and blood glucose.
