RANGELY I Residents living in and around Rangely can be screened to reduce their risk of having a stroke or bone fracture. Colorado Northwestern Community College will host Life Line Screening on June 4, 2011. The site is located at 500 Kennedy Dr. in Rangely.
The screenings are fast, noninvasive, painless, affordable and convenient. The 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.
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 our website at www.lifelinescreening.com. Pre-registration is required.
