Don't let your heart get broken...

As you know, February is American Heart Month and presents a wonderful opportunity to address the most significant health risk most of us face – cardiovascular disease. Cardiovascular disease is the number one cause of death in America. Each year 750,000 Americans discover they have heart disease by suffering a heart attack – often fatal. While various screening methods exist, these methods focus on detection of symptoms rather than the underlying disease. Moreover, these tests are often invasive, dangerous, expensive and inaccurate.

The Columbus Bar has partnered with PrevaHealth to offer members non-invasive screening for early-stage heart and vascular disease, lung and colon cancers, and osteoporosis.

PrevaHealth uses an EBT cardiac scan to identify coronary calcium in its earliest stages. Within minutes of a scan, a medical professional can show t patients their images and identify areas of concern. The results are faxed to the referring doctor with precise guidelines that explain the nature and extent of the findings, provide specific clinical recommendations and suggestions for further testing, if necessary.

Discounts are available for Columbus Bar members. Early detection provides an opportunity to avoid the health catastrophes that we all see among our friends and neighbors.

For your health and peace of mind, call PrevaHealth today or visit their website at www.prevahealth.com.
