Stroke Scan Plus will be at St. Joseph Catholic Church on Wednesday, January 15th, to provide lifesaving, wellness ultrasound screenings. It is important to perform preventive maintenance for ourselves yearly. Do you have high blood pressure or high cholesterol, diabetes, or a family history of heart disease, stroke, abdominal aneurysm, or internal cancers? If so, do not miss this opportunity for early detection of a possibly serious disease. These screenings are typically NOT performed at your annual check-up, and insurance companies may not pay for them unless you are symptomatic. Stroke Scan Plus will be offering them to you for $169 for all 7 combined ultrasound screenings (Stroke, AAA, Thyroid, Liver, Kidneys, & Gallbladder). Blood testing will incur an additional cost. Insurance is NOT necessary, and appointments are limited. Stroke Scan will be available at the church for you to register on on Saturday, January 4th - Sunday, January 5th, or please call 832-437-7355 to schedule an appointment today for you or a loved one. The screenings will take place in/at the St. Joseph Catholic Church. Prevention is your key to quality health! www.strokescan.com.
