LIFE LINE SCREENING

Newnan First United Methodist Church is pleased to offer a preventive health event. Life

Line Screening, a leading provider of community-based preventive health

screenings, will host their affordable, non-invasive and painless health screenings

on 3/18/2016.

Five screenings will be offered that scan for potential health problems related to: blocked

arteries which is a leading cause of stroke; abdominal aortic aneurysms which can lead to a ruptured aorta; hardening of the arteries in the legs which is a strong predictor of heart

disease; atrial fibrillation or irregular heart beat which is closely tied to stroke risk; and a bone density screening, for men and women, used

to assess the risk of osteoporosis.

Register for a Wellness Package, which includes 4 vascular tests and osteoporosis

screening from $149 ($139 with our member discount). All five screenings take 60-90

minutes to complete.

In order to register for this event and to receive a $10 discount off any package priced

above $129, please call 1-888-653-6441 or visit www.lifelinescreening.com/community-

partners.
