Attention Women!
It is Important to Know your Numbers. Do you know yours?
With one out of three women dying from heart disease, Lakewood Hospital believes there is a vital need to promote heart health to women. We encourage you to take control by knowing your cholesterol numbers and your risk for heart disease.
Cholesterol is a substance in the blood that can build up inside arteries and decrease blood flow to organs. Reducing your blood cholesterol can lower your risk for heart disease, so have your cholesterol level measured and learn more about your risks for cardiovascular disease.
At our Women's Preventive Heart Clinic you will receive personalized care from our team of cardiac nurses, who will help you understand the risks associated with heart disease. After reviewing your medical history, the cardiac nurse will conduct a thorough physical and screening.
The screening includes:
• Complete lipid profile and blood sugar
• Blood pressure and heart rate
• EKG
• Body Mass Index (BMI)
• Stress Assessment
At the end of the visit you will receive a personalized cardiac health plan and learn how to minimize the risks of heart disease. Lastly, if necessary, you will receive a referral to any appropriate providers.
The screening cost is $35 and appointments are available Monday – Friday, 7:30 a.m. 5 p.m.
To schedule an appointment for your screening, please call 216.529.8500. Free parking is available.
