Residents living in and around the Tujunga area can learn about their risk for cardiovascular disease, osteoporosis, diabetes and other chronic, serious conditions with affordable screenings by Life Line Screening. Sunland-Tujunga Elks Lodge #2098 will host this community event on Tuesday, June 27.

Screenings can check for:

• The level of plaque buildup in arteries related to risk for heart disease, stroke and overall vascular health.

• HDL and LDL cholesterol levels

• Diabetes risk

• Bone density as a risk for possible osteoporosis

• Kidney and thyroid function, and more

Screenings are affordable, convenient and accessible for wheelchairs and those with trouble walking. Free parking is also available.  

Packages start at $149, but consultants will work with clients to create a package that is right based on age and risk factors. Call (877) 237-1287 or visit www.lifelinescreening.com. Pre-registration is required.

Sunland-Tujunga Elks Lodge #2098 is located at 10137 Commerce Ave. in Tujunga.
