Stroke and Osteoporosis Screening coming to Milwaukee

February 13, 2010

Residents living in and around the Milwaukee community can be screened to reduce their risk of having a stroke or bone fracture. The Knights of Columbus Council #524 will host Life Line Screening on February 15, 2010. The site is located at 3200 South 103rd Street in Milwaukee. Appointments will begin at 10:00 a.m.

Four key points every person needs to know:

  1. Stroke is the third leading cause of death and a leading cause of permanent disability
  2. 80 percent of stroke victims had no apparent warning signs prior to their stroke
  3. Preventive ultrasound screenings can help you avoid a stroke
  4. Screenings are fast, noninvasive, painless, affordable and convenient

For more information regarding the screenings or to schedule an appointment, call 1-800-697-9721 or visit our website at www.lifelinescreening.com. Pre-registration is required.

Screenings identify potential cardiovascular conditions such as blocked arteries and irregular heart rhythm, abdominal aortic aneurysms, and hardening of the arteries in the legs, which is a strong predictor of heart disease. A bone density screening to assess osteoporosis risk is also offered and is appropriate for both men and women. Many sites offer finger-stick blood tests to check for cholesterol and glucose.

Packages start at $139. All fi ve screenings take 60-90 minutes to complete. Life Line Screening was established in 1993, and has since become the nation’s leading provider of preventive screenings.
