Dare to C.A.R.E. Vascular Screenings

VASCULAR SCREENING 

Dare to C.A.R.E. free vascular screenings. Cardiovascular disease is the #1 health problem in the country today. More than half of all Americans will die from complications of atherosclerosis, the root of cardiovascular disease. Early detection is key.

  • This examination is a non-invasive ultrasound examination of the carotid arteries in the neck and the aorta in the abdomen, as well as an evaluation of the circulation in your legs.

  • Screenings are done in Dare County in association with the Rotary Clubs.
