Residents living in and around the Tyrone community can be screened to reduce their risk of having a stroke.
\nThe complete screening package now includes a new Heart Rhythm screening which checks for irregular heartbeat, a major risk factor for stroke.
\nLife Line Screening will be at the St. Matthew’s Roman Catholic Church on August 6.
\nThe site is located at 1105 Cameron Ave. in Tyrone. Appointments will begin at 10 a.m.
\nFor more information regarding the screenings or to schedule an appointment, call 1-800-697-9721 or visit the website at www.lifelinescreening.com.
\nPre-registration is required.
\nA stroke, also known as a \u201cbrain attack,\u201d is ranked as the third leading killer in the world.
\nScreenings are fast, painless and affordable.
\nThey 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 disease.
\nA bone density screening to assess osteoporosis risk is also offered and is appropriate for both men and women.
\nRegister for a Wellness Package with Heart Rhythm for $149.
\nAll five screenings take 60-90 minutes to complete.
\nLife Line Screening was established in 1993, and has since become the nation\u2019s leading provider of preventive screenings.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
