Sher Your Heart organiser Savannah Ngatae co-organised the free screening day on Saturday in memory of her mother, Sheralyn (Sher) Weepers, who died in May after having heart problems.
It was held at Te Kāika Forbury Health Centre between 10am and 4pm, offering checks for early signs of heart conditions, including cardiovascular disease.
Dunedin Hospital cardiologist Anouska Moynagh said people received a report of their check-ups.
"We can hopefully tell them their hearts are fine and if any conditions pop up then we can start to treat them."
