Heppner Gazette-Times, Heppner, Oregon Wednesday. October 5,2005 - THREE Stroke screening to be held Nov. 1 R esidents living in and around the H eppner community can be screened to reduce their risk of having a stroke. Life Line Screening will be at the St. Patrick’s Catholic Church on Tuesday, Nov. 1. The site is located at 525 N. Gale in Heppner. Appointments will begin at 11:40 a.m. A stroke, also known as a “brain attack”, is ranked as the third leading killer in the world, and the second among women. Through preventive screenings, the risk of having a stroke can be greatly reduced. Screenings are fast, painless and low cost. They involve the use of ultrasound technology, and scan for potential health problems related to: blocked arteries which can lead to a stroke, aortic aneurysms which can lead to a ruptured aorta, and hardening of the arteries in the legs, which are a strong predictor of heart disease. Also offered for men and women, is a bone density screening to assess their risk for osteoporosis. Each screening requires ten minutes or less to complete. Acomplete vascular screening package, including the Stroke/Carotid Artery, Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm and Ankle Brachial Index (hardening of the arteries) screenings is $109. Cost for a complete vascular package; include the osteoporosis screening is $129. For more information regarding the screenings or to schedule an appointment, call 1-877-237-1272- Pre registration is required. Life Line Screening was established in 1993, and is a provider of vascular screenings. Over 45 ultrasound teams are on staff to travel to your local community, bringing the screenings to you. These non-invasive, inexpensive and painless, ultrasound tests help people identify their risk for stroke, vascular diseases or osteoporosis early enough for their physician to begin preventive procedures.
