Screenings offered October 31st

Richmond, VA – Patient First wants everyone to enjoy the frightful fun this Halloween by offering free digital X-ray imaging of Halloween candy. Bags of candy may be brought into any Patient First neighborhood medical center from 6:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. on Monday, October 31, 2011.

An adult should always inspect the candy before allowing a child to enjoy the sweet rewards of their trick-or-treating.  This free X-ray offer is an additional precaution parents may consider.  It will help provide parents peace of mind about the treats their children receive by possibly detecting objects like, glass, metal or plastic. Parents still need to provide supervision since some foreign materials may not appear in X-rays.  Patient First is committed to the health and well-being of all children.
