RUMFORD – The Central Maine Heart and Vascular Institute will hold a community cardiovascular risk screening clinic from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 15, at Hannaford Food & Drug. The institute’s van will be parked at the supermarket for walk-ins.

There will be free blood pressure checks and ScoreKeeper Cardiac Risk Screening. Cholesterol testing will cost $10. The ScoreKeeper assessment includes risk assessment consultation and help with prioritizing lifestyle changes, heart healthy recommendations, and a heart healthy action plan.

The wellness van will visit Hannaford Food & Drug again on Nov. 17.

Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in the United States, claiming the lives of nearly one million Americans every year. Individuals who understand their personal risk profile can better take control of their health and, therefore, guard against cardiovascular disease.
