Southern Kentucky Vascular's "Share the Love" 2-for-1 Screening
Two-for-One Screenings through February
Dr. Don W. Brown announced today that Southern Kentucky Vascular's special "Share the Love," community screening event is back for 2026. Brown said, "We are committed to our community getting screened, and would like to encourage folks to come with anyone they care about to get screened all this month. It's a quick and painless test, and it can be life saving for prevention of stroke, heart disease and arterial blockage."
Southern Kentucky Vascular's "Share the Love" Special Offer is a two-for-one opportunity where both individuals will receive a thorough vascular screening for the price of one -- a savings of 50%!
Brown added, "There is nothing more loving than helping someone take care of their health!" We are happy to be here to provide such an important test. Our entire regional area is invited to 'share the love' through February 27th."
Why Should We Get a Vascular Screening Test?
Generally, speaking, a vascular screening is a good preventive test for adults 55+, whether just establishing a baseline or if there are other indications. However, when there is a family history of stroke or cardiovascular disease, it's especially important to screen. Type 1 diabetics are advised to get screened at age 30 or older. People shouldn't wait until there are symptoms to get screened.
The good news? It's an easy process. Vascular screening typically takes 45-minutes to an hour, and involves ultrasound and blood pressure measurements. "We check the neck, abdomen, and extremities for symptoms of stroke, heart attack or arterial blockage," said Brown. "When we find something that is concerning, it's much more preferable to an emergency situation."
