Life Line Screenings Sponsored by Advocate Good Shepherd Hospital

Calendar Listing Release

Stroke and Osteoporosis Screening Coming to Your Neighborhood!

 Residents living in and around the  community can be screened to reduce their risk of having a stroke. The complete screening package now includes a new Heart Rhythm screening, checking for irregular heartbeat, which is a major risk factor for stroke.

Advocate Good Shepherd Hospital is pleased to sponsor this event presented by Life Line Screening. 

A stroke, also known as a “brain attack,” is ranked as the fourth leading cause of death in the United States.

Screenings are fast, painless and affordable.  They help identify potential health problems 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.

Life Line Screening was established in 1993, and has since become the nation’s leading provider of community-based preventive screenings.
