Screenings That Could Save Your Life: Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms & Carotid Stenosis

Arterial disease is common as we age, and is sometimes associated with serious life threatening conditions, such as stroke or aortic aneurysm rupture. These vascular problems are often referred to as "silent killers" because they are difficult to detect on a physical exam.

If you are over 60 and answer "yes" to any of the questions below sign up today for this important and life-saving screening:

  • Do you have high blood pressure?
  • Do you have high cholesterol?
  • Do you have diabetes?
  • Do you have a family history of aortic aneurysm?
  • Do you currently or have you smoked in the past?

Laura K. Pak, MD, FACS, and Wanda Zhao, PA-C will review screening results with each participant. Screenings cost $100, take 45 minutes and registration is required.

To register call 1-855-830-6003.
