Free heart screening event could save lives – WWMT-TV

Free Heart Health Screening event will be held at the Ascension Borgess Heart Institute on May 6{p}{/p}

The last time Ascension Borgess hosted a screening event to look for potential heart problems, doctors said it made a difference.

"There were a number of situations that arose where people were made aware of a significant potential heart problem and results on an EKG showed that they may be at a higher risk of something happening", said Dr. Stephen Peck, cardiologist Ascension Borgess, "There ended up being an immediate referral to have more elaborate testing done as a result of this."

Free heart screenings are returning to five locations across Michigan, including in Kalamazoo, May 6 2023. This will be the first time for the event since before the pandemic started.

The no-cost heart screenings will start at 7 a.m. with walk-in registrations ending at 11 a.m.

It is happening at the Ascension Borgess Heart Institute, 1722 Shaffer St., Kalamazoo, 49048.
