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:
