The best way to live a healthy life is with the knowledge and reassurance about how to obtain or maintain a healthy heart. To make that easier, Southwest General offers to those aged 18 and older new programs called "Healthy Heart for Her” and “Healthy Heart for Him.”
This programs are ways for those interested in heart health to:
- learn more about their laboratory test results for cholesterol and blood sugar (glucose)
- have a screening for Body Mass Index (BMI), blood pressure and heart rate
- take stress and risk assessments; and
- have a complete 12-lead EKG performed.
Additionally, one-on-one consultation with members of our health care team who are qualified to discuss those lab, screening, assessment and EKG results, is included. There is a one-time, out-of-pocket fee of $30 for the appointment.
Located on the third floor at the hospital's main campus, the program’s appointment dates and times are very flexible. Take control of your heart health, and become armed with information!
For more information about “Healthy Heart for Her” and “Healthy Heart for Him” and to schedule an appointment call 1-877-SWG-BEAT (794-2328), a FREE 24-hour nurse practitioner support line, through Southwest General’s Heart & Vascular Institute.
