The Hood Canal Masonic Center in Belfair will be the site of a preventive health event for local residents. The event is being offered by Life Line Screening and will take place at 23341 NE State Rte 3, on Friday, July 17, 2009.

Life Line Screening is the nation's leading provider of community-based preventive screenings and scans for potential health problems related to: blocked arteries, which is a leading cause of stroke; abdominal aortic aneurysms, which can lead to a ruptured aorta; hardening of the arteries in the legs, which is a strong predictor of heart disease; atrial fibrillation (irregular heart beat), which is closely tied to stroke risk; and a bone density screening, for men and women, used to assess the risk of osteoporosis.

All five affordable, non-invasive, painless vascular screenings take 60-90 minutes to complete. Register for a Complete Wellness Package with Heart Rhythm for $149. Individual screenings can be taken for only $45 each. You must pre-register for the screenings. Appointments are limited, so sign up now by calling 1-800-324-1851, and referencing source code ISC4957.
