Life Line Returning Sept. 4

Posted: August 28, 2009

Life Line Screening will return to Triadelphia Adventist Church on Brighton Dam Road on Friday, Sept. 4. Life Line screens for stroke/carotid artery risk, heart rhythm, abdominal aortic aneurysm, peripheral arterial disease and osteoporosis all in one place in a relatively brief time for only $149. I know at least one slender local hiker/bike rider who felt no need to see a doctor, but took the tests and discovered he needed immediate medical attention. If you don’t have insurance or don’t see your doctor on a regular basis, taking the screening tests could be lifesaving. Screenings are by appointment. Call 1-800-679-5102 or go to www.lifelinescreening.com.
