During January, Sacred Heart Health System will provide free heart health screenings at locations in Pensacola, Milton, Century, Cantonment, Pace and Gulf Breeze for adults who are poor, elderly or uninsured.

One of the free screenings will take place Jan. 30 from 9 to 11:30 a.m. at St. Ann Catholic Church, 100 Daniel St., Gulf Breeze.
