Stony Point Friend-Raising a Success in Spite of Rain!
The Stony Point Friend-Raising went on as planned on April 25, in spite of rain that was forecast for the same time as the picnic. Things still got off on a great foot, with all the outdoor activities going on as planned until the downpour stuck! The Ruritans were prepared with a few tents, and we all went in to enjoy hot dogs, Hamburgers, mac and cheese, baked beans, cole slaw and LOTS of cookies! Thanks goes to all who helped! Pictures can be seen on the stony Point ruritan Facebook page!
Up-Coming LifeLine Health Screenings
On Friday, July 31. Life Line Screening will host an Event at the Ruritan Club. Appointments are available for screening for Heart disease and cardiovascular health through several tests that are affordable, even if you don't have insurance.
An ultrasound is performed to screen the carotid arteries (a pair of blood vessels in the neck that deliver blood to your brain) for buildup of fatty plaque. This buildup, called atherosclerosis, is one of the leading causes of stroke.
An ultrasound is performed to screen the abdominal aorta for the presence of an enlargement or aneurysm. AAA can lead to a ruptured aortic artery, which is a life-threatening medical emergency.
A 6-lead electrocardiogram (EKG) is performed by placing sensors on the arms and legs to screen for Atrial Fibrillation. AFib can lead to blood clots, stroke, and heart failure, and other heart-related complications.1
An Ankle-Brachial Index (ABI) test is performed using blood pressure cuffs on the arms and legs. It is important to screen for PAD because it increases the risk of coronary artery disease, heart attack, or stroke.
To sign up for a test, go to https://www.lifelinescreening.com/ or call 844-558-0973.
