Stroke and Osteoporosis Screenings Coming to Arcadia

Arcadia, California – Residents living in and around the Arcadia, California community can be screened to reduce their risk of having a stroke or bone fracture. Arcadia Woman’s Club will host Life Line Screening on 7/6/2012. The site is located at 324 S First Ave in Arcadia. Richard Bennet from Woodland Hills, CA, participated in a Life Line Screening event in March 2008 and learned he had an abdominal aortic aneurysm. He writes, “I feel as though Life Line Screening saved my life and can’t thank you enough!”

Four key points every person needs to know:
” Stroke is the third leading cause of death and a leading cause of permanent disability
” 80% of stroke victims had no apparent warning signs prior to their stroke
” Preventive ultrasound screenings can help you avoid a stroke
” Screenings are fast, noninvasive, painless, affordable and convenient

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.

Packages start at $149. All five screenings take 60-90 minutes to complete. For more information regarding the screenings or to schedule an appointment, call 1-877-237-1287 or visit our website at www.lifelinescreening.com. Pre-registration is required.
