Here is information from their pamphlet:

Life LIne Screening is the leading provider of community-based preventive health screenings in the US.  Currently, in neighborhoods like ours, Life Line is screening approximately 1 million people each year, adding to the 6 million previously screened since their beginning in 1993.  Cardiovascular disease is the #1 killer in the United States of both men and women – and a leading cause of permanent disability.

Consider the facts:

1. 4 ouf of 5 stroke victims had no apparent warning signs
2. 80% of strokes can be prevented

You may think that your physician would order these screenings if they were necessary.  However, insurance companies typically will not pay for screenings unless a person has suffered symptoms.  Unfortunately, for so many people, the first sign of a stroke is a stroke.  That is why having a Life Line Screening is so important to keep you and your loved ones healthy and independent. 

We encourage you to talk to your physician about Life Line Screening.  We are confident that he or she will agree with hundreds of hospitals that have partnered with Life Line Screening and suggest that you participate in this health event.

Life Line Screening is coming to our neighborhood for one day only and appointments are limited, so please call 1-800-679-5192.
