Screenings That Could Save Your Life: Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms & Carotid Stenosis

Arterial disease is common as we age, and is sometimes associated with serious life-threatening conditions, such as stroke or aortic aneurysm rupture. These vascular problems are often referred to as "silent killers" because they are difficult to detect on a physical exam. If you are over 60 and answer “yes” to any of the questions below sign up today for this important and life-saving screening:

    • Do you have high blood pressure?
    • Do you have high cholesterol?
    • Do you have diabetes?
    • Do you have a family history of aortic aneurysm?
    • Do you currently or have you smoked in the past?  

    Screenings are 45 minutes and registration is required. Call 1-855-830-6003 to schedule a screening!
