Screenings are fast, painless and low cost. They test for blocked carotid arteries, abdominal aortic aneurysms and hardening of the arteries in the legs.

Bone density screening is also offered to assess the risk of osteoporosis.

All four screenings take less than an hour to complete. The cost for a wellness package of all four screenings, including free osteoporosis screening, is $129.
