Event Description: 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 honor of National Stroke Awareness Month in May, Northside Hospital is offering free screenings, in Atlanta and Forsyth, to determine risk for stroke, heart disea se and diabetes. 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. Sleep apnea screenings and smoking cessation counseling also will be offered at the Forsyth screening. The screenings are free, but registration is required.
