SIOUX FALLS, S.D. — The Sanford Center for Screening is moving from its previous location inside the Sanford Heart Hospital to the Sanford Madison & Veterans Parkway Clinic, located at 5920 E. Madison St. in east Sioux Falls. The Center offers preventive screenings for heart and vascular health.
“This move provides more space for these important screenings, along with easier access and convenience for our patients” said Bridget O’Brien-Johnson, vice president, operations, heart & vascular. “Heart disease remains the number one cause of death among all Americans. With February being American Heart Month, this is the perfect time for us to expand and ensure these potentially life-saving screenings are available to our community.”
A heart screening is recommended once every ten years for everyone ages 40-75 and women who are postmenopausal. A screening at Sanford includes a blood pressure check, body mass index calculation, cholesterol test, CT calcium score, EKG and Framingham risk score.
Vascular screenings are recommended once every three to five years starting at age 40. Patients with type 1 diabetes should start vascular screenings at age 30. These screenings check for vascular disease, a sometimes life-threatening condition affecting the blood vessels. It can lead to high blood pressure, limb loss, heart attack, stroke and kidney failure.
The Sanford Madison & Veterans Parkway Clinic is a 26,500 square-foot clinic that opened February 2024.
To schedule a heart or vascular screening, call (605) 312-2150.
