Heart Screening

Heart disease claims the lives of one in every two American women.

Most die suddenly without any symptoms at all.

At the Sparrow Heart Center, we're passionate about using the latest, most advanced technology for treating this deadly disease. We're also deeply committed to caring for the emotional needs of our heart patients. To help build awareness, Sparrow now offers a heart screening - completely free of charge.

Know Your Numbers

Sparrow also offers Know Your Numbers for a minimal cost of $10/person.

  • No appointment required.
  • To assure accuracy, you must fast for 12 hours prior to the test; water is allowed and you may continue to take your medications.
  • Your test results are mailed to you, please discuss with your doctor.
  • Offered at all Sparrow Regional Laboratories.

Exercise, proper nutrition and, when appropriate, medication will improve your numbers.

Call Sparrow today at 1.888.7WE.HEAL to schedule your free heart screening, request a free heart-disease information packet, or to locate a Sparrow Regional Laboratory near you.



If you don't get a FREE heart screening for yourself, get it for your family. They will be glad you did.
