Event Description: Whether you are a man or woman, Caucasian or African American, in the prime of life or enjoying your golden years, you may be at risk for a stroke. The best protection for you and your loved ones against stroke is to know your 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 disease 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. Please call 404-845-5555 and press "0” to schedule an appointment.
