Stroke, osteoporosis screenings coming to Greenfield
By
-
Residents living in and around the Greenfield community can be screened to reduce their risk of having a stroke or bone fracture. Greenfield First United Methodist Church will host Life Line Screening on March 4 at their building at 405 South Street.
Four key points every person needs to know:
1. Stroke is the third leading cause of death and a leading cause of permanent disability.
2. Eighty percent of stroke victims had no apparent warning signs prior to their stroke.
3. Preventative ultrasound screenings can help you avoid a stroke.
4. Screenings are fast, noninvasive, painless, affordable, and convenient.
Screenings identify potential cardiovascular conditions such as blocked arteries and irregular heart rhythm, abdominal aortic aneurysms, and hardening of the arteries in the legs, which is a strong predictor of heart disease. A bone density screening to assess osteoporosis risk is also offered and is appropriate for both men and women.
Packages start at $139. All five screenings take 60-90 minutes to complete. For more information regarding the screenings or to schedule an appointment, call 1-877-237-1287 or visit the Life Line Screening website at www.lifelinescreening.com. Pre-registration is required.
Life Line Screening was established in 1993 and has since become the nation's leading provider of preventative screenings.[[In-content Ad]]
