Why should I get screened?
Imagine this: you’re going about your day, just like any other, when out of nowhere, your life changes in an instant. For 4 out of 5 people who experience a stroke, the stroke itself is the first sign that something was wrong. There are no early warnings, no subtle hints—just the sudden, life-altering event. That’s why getting screened matters. It’s a way to catch what you can’t see coming, to take control before the unexpected takes control of you.
Remember the days when health was simpler—when a routine checkup felt like a promise of well-being? Screenings today carry that same sense of assurance, offering either peace of mind or the gift of early detection. Think of them as a modern safeguard, much like the careful rituals of the past that kept families thriving. By catching potential issues early, screenings help you stay a step ahead, preserving the vibrant life you cherish. Take a moment to prioritize your health—it’s a tradition worth keeping.

- What’s included?
- Remember when life felt simpler, and “peace of mind” wasn’t just a saying but a way of living? That’s exactly what our screenings aim to restore. Take the Carotid Artery Screening, for example: using ultrasound, we check for fatty plaque buildup in your carotid arteries—one of the leading causes of strokes. It’s like taking a proactive step back in time to safeguard your future.
- Peripheral Arterial Disease Screening
- Think of how far your legs have carried you—through childhood adventures, walks in the park, and countless daily routines. Using ultrasound and blood pressure measurements, this screening ensures those steps stay strong by checking for plaque buildup in your lower extremities.
- Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm (AAA)
- The abdominal aorta, that vital lifeline running through your core, is screened with ultrasound to detect any dangerous enlargements or aneurysms. Imagine it as ensuring the foundation of an old, cherished home remains sturdy for years to come.
- Atrial Fibrillation
- A quick, easy test with EKG electrodes gently placed on your arms and legs can uncover an irregular heartbeat, a condition that may increase stroke risk fivefold. It’s a step back to when attentive care and early prevention were the keys to a long, vibrant life.
