Stroke and Osteoporosis Screening Coming to Woodland Park July 6th
The Mountain View United Methodist Church in Woodland Park will host Life Line Screening for stroke or bone fracture on July 6 for residents living in and around the city. The site is located at 1101 Rampart Range Road. Appointments will begin at 9 a.m.
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. Preventive ultrasound screenings can help you avoid a stroke.
4. Screenings are fast, noninvasive, painless, affordable and convenient.
For more information regarding the screenings or to schedule an appointment, call 1-800-697-9721 or visit our Web site at www.lifelinescreening.com. Pre-registration is required.
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. Many sites offer finger-stick blood tests to check for cholesterol and glucose.
Packages start at $139. All five screenings take 60-90 minutes to complete. Life Line Screening was established in 1993, and has since become the nation’s leading provider of preventive screenings.
