Life Line Screening will perform a variety of different health screenings at Our Savior's Lutheran Church. The screenings available on this day will include:
1) A Stroke/Carotid Artery Screening – 60 people every hour suffer from stroke – 1/3 of them are fatal.
2) An Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm (AAA) test
3) An Ankle Brachial Index (ABI) – Peripheral Arterial Disease is a strong predictor for heart disease. – This is the #1 cause of Diabetic amputation.
4) A Bone Density screening, which tests both men and women for the early detection of osteoporosis.
5) An Atrial Fibrillation test - Having Afib increases your risk of stroke 5-times and can lead to congestive heart failure.
6) Single finger-stick blood tests for Heart Disease and Diabetes
These screenings are completely painless, non-invasive, and typically not part of a routine physical. Each Test takes about 10 minutes. Appointments start at 9:00 am.
