Cardiovascular Screening Program (Retired Members) - HeartScan Services
In our continuing effort to track the latest innovative technology and provide truly comprehensive health screening programs for our members, the Welfare Fund of Local 3 is proud to share with you news of our partnership with HeartScan Services: a non-invasive, mobile cardiovascular screening and wellness company. The Chairman and the Trustees of Local 3 and the founder of HeartScan Services, Marilyn Martinucci, have worked together over the past number of months to bring you this new cardiovasular screening program as a member benefit.
WHY A CARDIOVASCULAR SCREENING PROGRAM IS IMPORTANT FOR OUR MEMBERS
Most people are symptom free but statistics show that heart disease is the # 1 killer and stroke is the # 3 killer of people in the United States. Every 60 seconds someone in the U.S. dies of a heart attack and every 40 seconds someone has a stroke. These diseases are preventable if detected and treated early.
THE SCREENING PROGRAM
HeartScan Services identifies early risk factors of Heart Disease, Stroke, PAD (peripheral arterial disease and diabetes), and Thyroid nodules. The screening is non-invasive, takes approximately 30 minutes and no prep is required. HeartScan Services is mobile and can perform screening on site, or in locations close by member work places making it convenient for all our members to take advantage of this program.

CAROTID ARTERY ULTRASOUND
