A stroke, also

known as a "brain attack," is ranked as the third leading killer

in the world, and the second among women. Through preventive screenings,

the risk of having a stroke can be greatly reduced.

Screenings

are fast, painless and low-cost. They involve the use of ultrasound technology

and scan for potential health problems related to blocked arteries, which

can lead to a stroke; aortic aneurysms, which can lead to a ruptured aorta;

and hardening of the arteries in the legs, which are a strong predictor

of heart disease.

Also offered,

for men and women, is a bone density screening to assess the risk of osteoporosis.

Each screening

requires ten minutes or less to complete. A complete vascular screening

package including the Stroke/Carotid Artery, Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm

and Ankle Brachial Index (hardening of the arteries) screenings is $99.

The complete vascular package and osteoporosis screening is $125.
