LIFE LINE SCREENING COMING TO UNITED
May is Stroke Awareness Month
A stroke occurs every 40 seconds and yet up to 80% of strokes can be prevented.
This is why United Reformed Church of Somerville is hosting Life Line Screening, the nation’s leading provider of preventive health screenings on Wednesday, May 9, 2012.
Screenings are fast, painless and affordable. Three key tests check for blocked carotid arteries, an irregular heart rhythm called atrial fibrillation, and high blood pressure, which are the three leading risk factors for stroke. Nearly 800,000 strokes will occur this year, taking a life approximately every four minutes. Please see insert for full details.
