Stroke, heart attack, and peripheral artery disease are silent killers, but they’re not invisible. As a nationally accredited vascular screening program — the only one in Wisconsin — Wheaton Franciscan Medical Group offers a three-part screening for only $99. • • • Carotid Artery screening: Scans the carotid arteries in the neck for blockage, one of the leading causes of stroke. Aortic Aneurysm screening: Scans for an aneurysm of the abdominal aorta (AAA), a potentially life-threatening condition. Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD) screening: Scans for blockages in the lower extremities. Blockages in these areas place an individual at higher risk for heart attack and stroke. For an appointment, please contact us. (414) 778-7770 mywheaton.org/vascular Within 10 days, you’ll know if you’re at risk of stroke, heart attack, or other vascular disease. Unlike traveling screening companies, our Vascular Lab has been an established, quality service provider in Southeast Wisconsin since 1990. Tests are conducted in private rooms by caring, registered vascular technologists and are available in Franklin, Racine, and Wauwatosa. Vascular Care In Partnership with the Felician Sisters
