Community Wellness Screenings
Feb. 24
Life Line Screening, a leading provider of community-based preventive health screenings, is offering a preventive health event at Cardinal Middle School.
Five screenings will be offered that scan for potential health problems related to: blocked arteries which is a leading cause of stroke; abdominal aortic aneurysms which can lead to a ruptured aorta; hardening of the arteries in the legs which is a strong predictor of heart disease; atrial fibrillation or irregular heart beat which is closely tied to stroke risk; and a bone density screening, for men and women, used to assess the risk of osteoporosis.
Register for a Wellness Package, which includes four vascular tests and osteoporosis screening from $149, or $139 with our member discount. All five screenings take 60-90 minutes to complete.
There are three ways to register for this event and to receive a $10 discount off any package priced above $129; call toll-free 1-888-653-6441 or visit http://lifelinescreening.com/communitycircle or text the word circle to 797979.
