The Salvation Army – Eastside Corps will host Life Line Screening on July 1.

Screenings 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.

Packages start at $139. All five screenings take 60-90 minutes to complete.

The Salvation Army is located at 911 164th Ave NE. Appointments will begin at 9 a.m.
