Hy-Vee, Inc. announced it will provide 1,500 free A1C screenings in April at more than 100 Hy-Vee stores throughout the Midwest, including Newton Hy-Vee, 1501 First Ave. E., Newton.

Registration is required for the free A1C screening and can be done online. Once registered, a local Hy-Vee dietitian will reach out to schedule a screening based on availability. Free A1C screenings are only available while supplies last and are provided in partnership with Goodles, Catalina Crunch, Dexcom, Liquid I.V. Sugar Free and Chosen Foods.
