New Take Heart screening evaluates your heart disease risk

St. Joseph Hospital Take Heart Screenings
While a physical exam from your doctor covers a broad range of general health matters, The Cardiovascular Center’s Take Heart screening focuses on all of the measurements critical to heart health. The cost is only $55. The peace of mind it gives is priceless.

The screening program includes the following:
Heart Health Questionnaire
Resting EKG, interpreted by a board-certified cardiologist
Body Mass Index (from height and weight measurements)
Resting blood pressure and heart rate
Fasting cholesterol test that includes total, LDL and HDL cholesterol and triglyceride levels, and a total/HDL ratio
Blood glucose test to screen for diabetes
Private consultation with a health educator trained in cardiac risk factor management.

The screening takes only 45 minutes, but the benefits last a lifetime. For more information or to make an appointment, call (360) 738-6720. In Skagit County, San Juan County, Island County and Canada call (800) 541-7209 and ask for LifeQuest.

Low-income, disadvantaged women may be eligible for a Take Heart Screening scholarship. Made available through the Sue Parberry Women's Heart Screening Program, the scholarship would cover the full cost of the screening. For more information, call the LifeQuest office, at 360-788-6720.
