St. Bartholomew Catholic Church hosts, in Partnership with Elite Medical Imaging, their 7th annual Preventive Ultrasound Health Screening on Thursday, August 1, Friday, August 2, and Saturday, August 3, 2019. Screenings will be performed in the Family Life Center, Room 206 all three days. Ultrasound screenings are painless, non-invasive and contain no radiation.  Eight preventive screenings will be offered: carotid artery, abdominal aorta, thyroid, liver, spleen, gallbladder and both kidneys. These screenings are typically not offered at physician’s visits or at annual check-ups, nor will insurance companies pay for them, unless you are symptomatic.  Screenings will be offered to you for $49 each or the full preventive package, (all 8 areas) for just $150.00! Payment is collected the day of the service, and all forms of payment are acceptable, including Flex Spending Accounts. Representatives from EMI will be here the weekend of June 29 & 30 offering pre-registration after all masses. However, you may call in prior to their visit and schedule your “preferred” appointment. Our radiologist team recommends these screenings be considered on an annual basis as a preventive measure. Oftentimes results can change from one year to the next based on age, stress factors and lifestyle. PLEASE CALL 713-568-8331 TODAY TO SCHEDULE YOUR APPOINTMENT! SPACES FILL UP FAST.
