_______________________________________________________ Only if There Was a Way to Know Your Risks for Certain Preventable Health Conditions… Now There Is! Prevention Health Group has solved that problem by offering you 5 quick, painless, non-invasive health tests to see if you are at risk for a serious health problem. On Tuesday, May 1st beginning at 9:00am, St. Luke's United Methodist Church located at 700 New York Avenue will be hosting the prevention this year to offer parishioners & community members several important health tests. The first screening can tell your risk of a stroke from a carotid artery screening. This screening uses the latest ultrasound technology to visualize the carotid arteries in your neck for plaque build up, which can lead to a stroke. The latest studies show that 2 out of 3 stroke victims never have a warning sign and blocked arteries account for over 80% of strokes. There will also be a screening available that looks for dangerous abdominal aneurysms and a screening that checks for hardening of the arteries in the legs. Also available is an osteoporosis bone density and a pulmonary lung function test. The tests, which are non-invasive, are read by a board certified physician and are only twenty-six dollars each when you get all five done. The results are given directly to you and you are referred back to your own doctor. Call 1-800-446-0925 to register or more information. Register early because space is limited!

_______________________________________________________ Volunteer Advocates for Children Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) are trained community volunteers appointed by district court Judges to speak for the best interests of children who are brought before the court for reasons of abuse or neglect. He or she is an official part of judicial proceedings, working alongside attorneys and social workers. By handling only two or three cases at a time, the volunteer has time to thoroughly explore the history of each assigned case. He or she talks with the child, parents, family members, neighbors, school officials, doctors and others involved in the child's background who might have facts about the case. The volunteer reviews all court facts about the case and all court documents pertaining to the case. He or she then is expected to submit formal reports to the Judge at every scheduled hearing or review. The volunteer advocate continues to monitor the case to assure that the judicial and child welfare systems are moving ahead to secure a safe, permanent home for the child and that court-ordered services are provided to the child and family. The CASA can be an invaluable resource for the attorney for the child and the social worker in reaching their goals for permanency. Please contact us at info@casaep.org or 304-263-5100 for more information.
