Fitness Center Health Screenings

Early detection of many cardiovascular diseases may mean the difference between life and death. At the very least, health screenings can increase your awareness of modifiable risk factors so you can make healthy lifestyle changes that dramatically impact your quality of life. The Stead Heart and Vascular Center offers a variety of screenings (with physician referral).

If you smoke; suffer from high blood pressure, high cholesterol, or diabetes; have been diagnosed with heart disease or have a family history of heart disease; or are over age 55, you could greatly benefit from our screenings. Make your heart health a priority, and ask your primary care physician to help you take advantage of these preventive and diagnostic screenings.
