Residents living in and around the Millersburg community can be screened to reduce their risk of having a stroke or bone fracture. West Fork Community Center will host Life Line Screening June 2. The site is located at 170 Parkview Drive in Millersburg. Four key points every person needs to know: 1. Stroke is the third leading cause of death and a leading cause of permanent disability 2. Eighty percent of stroke victims had no apparent warning signs prior to their stroke 3. Preventive ultrasound screenings can help you avoid a stroke 4. Screenings are fast, noninvasive, painless, affordable and convenient Screenings identify potential cardiovascular conditions 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. All five screenings take 60-90 minutes to complete. For more information regarding the screenings or to schedule an appointment, call 877-237-1287 or visit the website at http://www.lifelinescreening.com. Preregistration is required.
