Listening to your body is a great first step toward heart health. Get started with our heart health assessment today.

Prevent Heart Disease and Get Screened

Are you worried about heart disease? It’s a valid concern as we grow older, especially if you have a family history of heart conditions. But your parent’s heart health isn’t the only risk factor. Your age, lifestyle, vitals like blood pressure and cholesterol, health history, and other key factors put you at risk. Heart disease is the leading cause of death in America for both men and women. Just how at risk are you? Take our Heart Health Assessment below and learn more about diagnostic testing services at one of our Traverse Heart & Vascular clinics.
