Past: Vascular Screenings

You may be at risk of a preventable, life-threatening condition and not realize it. Find out through vascular screenings offered by SoutheastHEALTH. Screenings will be held from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Monday, June 5, at SoutheastHEALTH of Stoddard County; 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Tuesday, June 6, at HealthPoint Fitness in Cape; and from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Wednesday, June 7, at HealthPoint Fitness in Jackson. There are four screening options:

• Carotid artery test (for prevention of stroke)

• Abdominal aorta test (for prevention of aneurysm)

• Peripheral artery test (for prevention of peripheral artery disease, also known as PAD)

• Bone density test (to identify those at risk for osteoporosis and osteopenia).

Test results are interpreted by a Missouri board certified physician and mailed to participants’ homes. Cost for the carotid artery, abdominal aorta and PAD screens are $50 each or all three for $110. The bone density test is $30. To make a screening appointment, call 1-800-800-5123.
