HOUSTON--(Business Wire)--
HCA Gulf Coast Division and HealthYes! Preventive Screening are partnering to
help communities prevent heart attack and stroke with non-invasive, state-of-the
art cardiovascular screenings. HealthYes! screens for five life-threatening
medical conditions and diseases: heart disease, stroke, abdominal aortic
aneurysm, peripheral artery disease and osteoporosis.
"We are excited to announce our new partnership with HealthYes!," said Maura
Walsh, President, HCA Gulf Coast Division. "We believe health screenings are a
valuable component of any wellness program and can uncover important illnesses
that require intervention prior to the development of symptoms."
Eleven HCA Gulf Coast hospitals will provide their communities with the
opportunity to identify potentially life-threatening health problems and
referrals to assist them in obtaining treatment.
HealthYes!`s screenings are performed by highly-trained technicians and
registered sonographers and are provided at a fraction of the cost of those
conducted at hospitals. The results are reviewed by Texas-based, board-certified
radiologists.
"This is a tangible result of HCA Gulf Coast Division`s commitment to educate
the public, promote prevention and increase awareness of asymptomatic disease,"
said Dale Wood, president, HealthYes!
