Free Health Screening for Milwaukee residents offered on October 9

September 25, 2010

More than 1 million Americans are living with an undiagnosed abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA). If that aneurysm bursts, only 10-25 percent of people will survive. A simple ultrasound screening for people at-risk could help save lives.

That’s why the Find the AAAnswers public education campaign is raising awareness for AAA by offering FREE ultrasound screenings to individuals at-risk

Screening for AAA is quick non-invasive, involving a simple ultrasound of the abdomen, similar to a pregnancy ultrasound. The risk for AAA increases for individuals that are age 60+, have a history of smoking, high blood pressure, high cholesterol or a family history of the disease.

***At-risk individuals should call (866) 371-3592 to register!!

WHERE/WHEN: Saturday, October 9th Kmart Pharmacy 6900 West Greenfield Ave. West Allis, WI 53214 7 am – 4 pm
