Cardiovascular Disease is the Number One Killer in the U.S.
BAPTIST
HEALTH is once again leading the way in creating a healthier Arkansas.
To help combat the problem of heart and vascular disease, BAPTIST
HEALTH and General Health Corporation are proud to announce the
creation of BAPTIST HEALTH HeartScreenNow.
The screenings offered as part of HeartScreenNow were developed to help individuals learn about their overall cardiovascular health and wellness before a life threatening situation arises. America's current healthcare system is designed to care for and rescue the sick, those with recognizable outward symptoms. Unfortunately, today's biggest and most feared killer - cardiovascular disease - is more often undiscovered until it is too late.
Interestingly, it is much more effective and less costly to prevent cardiovascular disease than to treat it. But, to most Americans, early detection means that they must initiate the request for testing through their physician. That usually means procrastination, inconvenience, time consumption and large out-of-pocket expense, since most insurers do not cover comprehensive screening unless the individual has symptoms.
The HeartScreenNow product line offers reliable, informative, quick, non-invasive and economical cardiovascular screenings to everyone.
- Peripheral Vascular Screening
- Aortic Aneurysm Screening
- Carotid Artery Screening
- Early Plaque Detection
- Cholesterol Testing
- Glucose Screening
- Cardiovascular Disease Risk Assessment
BAPTIST HEALTH HeartScreenNow will be screening soon in locations throughout central Arkansas, as well as bringing the on-site mobile service to corporate, not-for-profit, education, religious and civic organizations.
