Summary

The January 2013 Beaver Beacon invites Islanders to call the Beaver Island Rural Health Center for a free blood-pressure check. The notice also says that women ages 40 through 64 may qualify for free mammograms and Pap tests and encourages residents to ask the Health Center about other diagnostic services and its sliding fee scale.

Evidence limits

The notice documents the public-health offer and eligibility information, but does not report participation, screenings performed, or later outcomes.
