Additionally, two of the Medical Group’s cardiologists will be onsite to do preliminary checks for carotid artery, other veins and arteries, abdominal area aneurysms, and an echocardiogram. These preliminary tests will be done at no cost, however, they are not conclusive tests and the doctors will make no diagnosis.

Testing will take approximately 15minutes. Flu shots will be offered and the attendees will need to provide Medicare or Insurance information for the test.
