The screening includes blood work for glucose, HDL and total cholesterol, blood pressure, body mass index, heart rhythm assessment, carotid bruit assessments, diabetes risk assessment and the opportunity to discuss ways to reduce your risk for heart disease and stroke.

This screening will provide you with the information you need to make the necessary lifestyle modifications to reduce your risk for heart disease and stroke.”
