Community-Based Cardiovascular Screening

CHAMPIONS Screening

Our screening is designed to give you a better understanding of your health and help you take control of your well-being. Our screening process is free of charge, quick, and confidential, providing you with valuable insights into your cardiovascular health risks and empowering you with the information you need to make informed decisions about your care.

Here’s what you can expect during your screening:

  1. Intake: Health History & Demographic Information
    We’ll start by gathering your basic information and health history. This helps us establish a baseline for your current health status and identify any specific areas to focus on during the screening.

  2. Vitals: Height, Weight & Blood Pressure
    We’ll measure your height, weight, and blood pressure to assess your overall cardiovascular and metabolic health.

  3. Point-of-Care (POC) Testing: HbA1c & Lipid Panel
    Next, we’ll conduct point-of-care testing to assess your HbA1c (which measures your long-term blood sugar levels) and your lipid panel (which evaluates your cholesterol levels). These tests give us more valuable insights into your metabolic health, helping us identify risks for cardiovascular disease.

  4. Toe-Brachial Index (TBI): Toe Pressure Test
    Some participants will receive a Toe-Brachial Index (TBI) test, which measures the blood flow to your toes to screen for peripheral artery disease (PAD). PAD is a condition often associated with poor circulation in the legs and can increase the risk of cardiovascular complications and amputations. This non-invasive test helps us identify potential risks in your vascular health.

  5. Personalized Education
    After your screening, you’ll receive personalized health education tailored to your results. We’ll discuss key topics such as risk for diabetes, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, and peripheral artery disease. We’ll also look provide guidance on health insurance options and how to connect with a primary care physician for further care.

Our goal is not only to identify potential health risks but to empower you with the knowledge and tools to take charge of your health moving forward. The CHAMPIONS Screening Clinic is a proactive step toward a healthier future—and we’re here to support you every step of the way.
