Heart and Vascular Screenings Available Today in Trion

Residents have an opportunity today to receive a quick heart and vascular health screening as AdventHealth brings its AngioScreen mobile screening unit to Trion.

The AngioScreen bus will be at AdventHealth Medical Group, 160 Central Avenue in Trion, from 8 a.m. until 1 p.m. Staff will break for lunch from 11 a.m. until noon.

The screening costs $85 and is designed to help identify a person’s risk for heart disease and stroke. The non-invasive assessment takes about 10 minutes to complete and includes a carotid artery ultrasound for stroke screening, an electrocardiogram (EKG), Ankle-Brachial Index testing to evaluate circulation in the legs, and an abdominal aortic aneurysm screening.

Participants receive their results immediately following the screening.

No appointment is necessary, and walk-ins are welcome.

Payment may be made by cash, check, credit card, debit card, or Health Savings Account (HSA) and flexible spending account cards.
