Whether you are a man or woman, no matter your race, in the prime of life or enjoying your golden years, you may be at risk for a stroke. The best protection you can take is to know your personal risk.
In conjunction with National Stroke Awareness Month in May, Northside Hospital’s Stroke Center is offering free screenings to determine risk for stroke, heart disease and diabetes. Screenings will be offered in Canton, Cumming and Sandy Springs.
The comprehensive screenings will be administered by health care professionals and will include a risk assessment, blood pressure reading, total cholesterol (HDL, ratio of TC/HDL), glucose, a limited number of carotid ultrasounds and a one-on-one consultation with a healthcare professional.
The free screenings will take place:
