Those interested could have their blood pressure and sugar levels checked for free, and the youngest were given balloons and colouring books. The tests were very popular, with over 100 people taking part. The sugar levels and blood pressure of the Tyniec residents turned out to be normal, so no one had to stop the Saturday fun for health reasons.

-“I am glad that the residents of Tyniec were so eager to come for tests,” says Mariola Madler-Litera, a family doctor and president of the Twój Lekarz clinic. –“Prevention and early diagnosis of diseases are of great importance for the comfort of life and the effectiveness of treatment. Tests during the picnic help us encourage patients who can always come to our clinic and consult their health condition there.”

The event was organized by the Association "Our Children" and the parents' council of the School and Kindergarten Complex and Primary School in Tyniec Mały. During the picnic, parents and children could enjoy a variety of attractions, including sports games, culinary shows, a performance by the police orchestra or a demonstration of a fire truck, as well as sweet treats and a joint barbecue.
