STROKE SCAN, Inc.
Testing available August
FAMILY HEALTH ALERT
St. Gabriel Catholic Church is hosting a vascular health screening on August 5th. These ultrasound imaging tests are for detecting fatty plaque in the main arteries. This fatty plaque (atherosclerosis) develops from the food we eat, our LDL cholesterol production and family genetics. Plaque in the vital arteries causes interruptions in blood flow which leads to strokes, aneurysms and heart attacks if left undetected and untreated…most often without warning or symptoms. Early detection is vital for the successful treatment. The cost of $120 for parishioners is a small fraction of the cost for the same tests in a hospital lab of over $1500. The screenings are painless, non-intrusive and private. It is smart to test annually if you have two or more of the risk factors. Do not forget your spouse and other family members for this low cost wellness benefit.
