Residents living in and around the Williamston community can be screened to reduce their risk of having a stroke or bone fracture. The Williamston Municipal Center will host Life Line Screening on November 20 at 12 West Main St in Williamston.

Marilyn Eyer of Anderson has first hand seen the benefits of attending a Life Line Screening and said, “We never would have known about my husband’s aneurysm if it hadn’t been for getting tested.”

Four key points every person needs to know:

Stroke is the third leading cause of death and a leading cause of permanent disability.

80% of stroke victims had no apparent warning signs prior to their stroke.

Preventive ultrasound screenings can help you avoid a stroke.

Screenings are fast, noninvasive, painless, affordable and convenient.

Screenings identify potential cardiovascular conditions such as blocked arteries and irregular heart rhythm, abdominal aortic aneurysms, and hardening of the arteries in the legs, which is a strong predictor of heart disease. A bone density screening to assess osteoporosis risk is also offered and is appropriate for both men and women.

Packages start at $149. All five screenings take 60-90 minutes to complete. For more information regarding the screenings or to schedule an appointment, call 1-877-237-1287 or visit the website at www.lifelinescreening.com. Pre-registration is required.
