Committee approves continued 'Know Your Numbers' screenings at CT State Community College–Norwalk

The Norwalk Community Services Committee approved an agreement on July 22 to allow health-department staff and volunteers to use Connecticut State Community College–Norwalk facilities to provide the 'Know Your Numbers' community health screening program on dates through June 30, 2028.

Diana D'Amore described the program and its community reach: "For our last fiscal year, we conducted 269 screenings at 27 screening events," she said. The screening events include measurements such as A1C, blood pressure, BMI and waist circumference, and are intended to connect residents to health-care providers and social services.

Committee members praised the value of easy-access screenings for residents and approved the authorization unanimously. The vote allows the mayor to execute the campus-use agreements and any amendments needed to schedule the program on specified dates over the coming 18 months.
