STROKE SCAN PLUS
Stroke Scan Plus will host a stroke and vital organ ultrasound screening for the St. Elizabeth community on Saturday March 25. Early morning and afternoon appoint-ments will be available to accommodate most schedules. Do you have high blood pressure or high cholesterol? Do you have a family history of heart disease, stroke, or diabetes? If any of these are true, please do not miss this opportunity for early detection of a serious disease.These screenings are typically NOT performed at annual check ups, nor will insurance companies pay for them unless you are symptomatic. These 7 screenings cost thousands in our hospitals. Stroke Scan will be offering them to our community for $159 for all 7 combined. Insurance is NOT necessary nor are there any deductibles to meet to receive this discount. However, pre- registration IS necessary, and appointments are limited. Please call 866-935-7226 to schedule an appointment today. You will also have this opportunity after Mass in the gathering space March 11 and 12, 2023
