Stroke and Osteoporosis Screening Coming to Putnam Valley Library
Residents living in and around the Putnam Valley, community can be screened to reduce their risk of having a stroke. Life Line Screening Radiology will be at the Putnam Valley Free Library on February 26, 2008. The site is located at 30 Oscawana Lake Rd in Putnam Valley. Appointments will begin at 9am.
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.
All four Screenings take less than an hour to complete. The cost for a wellness package of all four screenings including free osteoporosis screening is only $149.
Life Line Screening Radiology LLC is dedicated to providing the highest quality imaging technology at an affordable rate. Our goal is to make people aware of an undetected health problem and encourage them to seek follow-up care with their physician.
