Syracuse, NY – Residents living in and around the New Milford, PA community can be screened to reduce their risk of having a stroke. Life Line Screening will be at the New Milford United Methodist Church on March 10. The site is located at 15 Pratt Street in New Milford, and appointments will begin at 9:00 a.m. A stroke, also known as a “brain attack,” is ranked as the third leading killer in the world, and the second among women. Through preventive screenings, the risk of having a stroke can be greatly reduced. Screenings are fast, painless and low cost. They involve the use of ultrasound technology, and scan for potential health problems related to: blocked arteries which can lead to a stroke, aortic aneurysms which can lead to a ruptured aorta, and hardening of the arteries in the legs, which are a strong predictor of heart disease. Also offered for men and women, is a bone density screening to assess their risk for osteoporosis. “I had no symptoms whatsoever. What a wonderful service Life Line Screening is providing. I cannot thank you enough!” Helen Swick, Wexford, PA. Each screening requires ten minutes or less to complete. A complete vascular screening package, including the Stroke/Carotid Artery, Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm and Ankle Brachial Index (hardening of the arteries) screenings is available, or sign up for a complete vascular package including the osteoporosis screening. For more information regarding the screenings or to schedule an appointment, call 1-877-237-1287. Pre-registration is required.
