On Thursday, May 20, the First Presbyterian Church of Three Rivers/Centreville, 320 North Main Street, Three Rivers, will host a Life Line Screening, a providence of preventive health screenings.
Screenings are fast, painless and affordable. There are three key tests that check for blocked carotid arteries, an irregular heart rhythm called atrial fibrillation, and high blood pressure, which are the three leading risk factors for stroke. Other tests check for abdominal aortic aneurysms and hardening of the arteries in the legs. A bone density screening to assess osteoporosis risk is also offered and is appropriate for both men and women.
Screening packages start at $139. Single tests cost around $70.
For more information regarding the screenings, or to schedule an appointment, call 1-888-653-6441, text the word CIRCLE to 797979, or visit www.lifelinescreening.com/communitycircle. Pre Registration is required.
