Checks set July 9

Seymour area residents can be screened to reduce their risk of having a stroke or bone fracture on July 9 at First Church of the Nazarene.

The church at 311 Myers St. in Seymour is serving as host for the Life Line Screening.

According to a press release from Life Line Screening, screenings help identify potential cardiovascular conditions such as blocked arteries and irregular heart rhythm, abdominal aortic aneurysms, and hardening of the arteries in the legs, which is a strong predictor of heart disease. A bone density screening to assess osteoporosis risk is also offered and is appropriate for both men and women.
