Do you have Atrial Fibrillation? Get Screened for AFib

Event Information

Tuesday, Feb. 11 - Portage Township YMCA, 3100 Willowcreek Rd.

Atrial fibrillation, or AFib, causes one-third of all strokes, and 27 percent of those occur with no prior symptoms. Strokes caused by AFib tend to be more severe and to cause greater disability in patients than other types of stroke.

St. Mary Medical Center’s AFib screening includes:
• One-minute fingertip EKG
• AFib risk assessment

Those found to be at risk for AFib will be referred to a St. Mary Medical Center cardiologist for follow-up. There is no registration required for this screening. Screenings are available on a first-come, first-served basis.

AFib screening is presented by St. Mary Medical Center in partnership with the Portage Township YMCA, the Hobart Family YMCA and the Valparaiso Family YMCA.
