The Department of Cardiology Services at HRMC has been targeted for continued growth by the medical center administration. Medical procedures are routinely performed at HRMC to intervene and correct heart and vascular problems. Heart disease is the number one cause of death in the United States. In fact, more people die of heart disease each year than all forms of cancer combined. Many times it can be prevented or successfully treated.
Early detection is the key to both.
Haywood Regional Medical Center is offering a cardiac screening and educational program to help you determine if you are at risk for heart disease. The screening will include cholesterol, blood sugar, and blood pressure checks, body mass index analysis, and a cardiac risk assessment questionnaire. The screening is available to men and women of all ages. Cardiologists Michael J. Keogh, M.D., and David W. Peterson, M.D., will review the lab reports and mail individual results to each participant. You may call 452-8088 for more information.
