For three years now, the blood sugar and cholesterol testing (BSCT) has been an annual activity undertaken by the HOA for the community.
The first blood sugar and cholesterol testing was done on May 1, 2004 which was the first activity undertaken by the newly assumed Board of Directors of SJV III. 44 participated the first BSCT health program of the Village. There was a follow-up of the same tests on September 11, 2004.
On July 17, 2005, the third BSCT took place which was backed-up with a lecture-seminar on how to control cholesterol and blood sugar level given by Dr. Eduardo R. Alcantara, a cardiologist affiliated with Therapharma and a practitioner at St. James Hospital.
This year’s BSCT was held last August 12, 2006 with Bjorn Javier and Monette Yatco as the attending Medical Technologists. Residents started queue up early, even before 7:00 AM. With 66 participating residents who were mostly the same recipients of the BSCT, the tests turned-out very smoothly and was completed quickly in one and a half hours.
