Life Line Screening

Rainier Arts Center will be hosting a Life Line Screening event on Tuesday, February 16, 2021.

Screenings are fast, painless, and affordable. Three key tests check for blocked carotid arteries, an irregular heart rhythm called atrial fibrillation, and high blood pressure, which are the three leading risk factors for stroke. Strokes are the fifth leading cause of death in the U.S., yet, with preventive strategies, 80% of strokes can be prevented.

Other tests check for abdominal aortic aneurysms and hardening of the arteries in the legs. A bone density screening to assess osteoporosis risk is also offered and is appropriate for both men and women. Many events also offer blood tests, including cholesterol, glucose, and c-reactive protein screenings, as well as take-home colon cancer early detection tests.

COVID-19 protocols will be strictly enforced. For more information regarding the screenings or to schedule an appointment, call 1-888-653-6441. Pre-registration is required.
