CardioVascular Mobile Health Unit

Lifesaving Cardiovascular Disease Detection

Heart disease and stroke are the first and fifth leading causes of death in the U.S., and they often strike without warning.

But, there are quick, painless exams that can detect abnormalities and determine if you’re at risk for:

• Heart disease
• Stroke
• Abdominal aortic aneurysm
• Peripheral artery disease
• Atrial fibrillation

The St. Elizabeth CardioVascular Mobile Health Unit provides screenings, cardiovascular risk assessments and education at convenient locations near you. The screenings take about 30 minutes, and you'll receive initial results right away along with a one-on-one discussion with a health educator on actions you can take to reduce your risk.

Reservations: Reservations are required. Please call  (859) 301-9355 (WELL) to schedule an appointment.

Quick, Convenient Health Screenings

Stroke/Carotid Artery Screening

This 10-minute ultrasound scan of your carotid arteries (in your neck) looks for plaque buildup, the leading cause of stroke.

Please don’t wear a high-collared shirt or turtleneck for this screening.

Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Screening

This 10-minute ultrasound test examines the main artery in your abdomen, the aorta, for enlargement or an aneurysm that could lead to a ruptured aortic artery.

Please don’t drink or eat anything two hours before your screening.

Peripheral Artery Disease Screening

This 10-minute Doppler ultrasound test examines blood flow in your legs to determine your risk of peripheral artery disease (PAD), a narrowing and hardening of arteries that supply blood to your legs and feet.

The exam uses blood pressure cuffs, so please don’t wear pantyhose.

Atrial Fibrillation Screening

This simple, painless screening is offered at no charge with at least one other paid screening. A fingertip scan of your heartbeat creates a snapshot that can detect a potential irregular heart rhythm.
