"Not only do attendees get to hang out at Cleveland Browns Stadium with their families, take photos from field level, meet Chomps, the Browns mascot, but they also get the opportunity to take advantage of free health screenings like EKG tests, blood pressure, cholesterol, glucose, and more," stated Ana Fadich, MPH, CHES, Vice President of Programs at Men's Health Network.

The event is free and open to the public with screenings available to those 18 years and over.
