Cardiovascular Screening

This screening will help determine your risk for a heart attack and vascular disease and includes: total cholesterol and HDL (good cholesterol); glucose (blood sugar); blood pressure; ABI (circulation test of the legs called the ankle brachial index); BMI (body mass index); waist/hip ratio; and an exercise evaluation. A healthcare provider will go over the results. A packet of educational information will be provided. If needed, follow-up care will be provided. The screenings are held 8 a.m. to noon, the second and fourth Thursdays of each month, except holidays. This month’s screenings are January 8 and 22  in the Luther Midelfort Cardiac Center, third floor, 1400 Bellinger St. This is a free service. For an appointment, call 715-838-5672, no later than two days before the screening.
