Boys & Girls Clubs of Porter County is pleased to partner with Porter Health System in this effort to help keep our communities healthy. Laurie Wehner-Evans RN MSN from Porter Heath System says, “Cholesterol plays a major role in a person's heart health. High blood cholesterol is a major risk factor for coronary heart disease and stroke. That's why it's important for all people to know their cholesterol levels.”
