Lifeline Screenings Set In Jefferson
Residents living in and around
Jefferson can be screened
to reduce their risk of having
a stroke. The complete screen
ing package now includes a new
heart rhythm screening, checking
for irregular heartbeat, which is a
major risk factor for stroke.
Life Line Screening will be
at Galilee Christian Church
Wednesday, April 16, starting at 9
a.m. The church is located at 2191
Galilee Church Road, Jefferson.
A stroke, also known as a “brain
attack," is ranked as the third
leading killer in the world.
The screenings will help identify
potential health problems 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 dis
ease. A bone density screening
to assess osteoporosis risk is also
offered and is appropriate for
both men and women.
The cost for a wellness package
with heart rhythm is $149. All five
screenings take 60-90 minutes.
For more information regarding
the screenings or to schedule an
appointment, call 1-800-697-9721.
Pre-registration is required.
