At CollaborativeNP Health Center, we are staunch proponents of proactive and preventive healthcare. To empower our patients to take charge of their health and well-being, we provide a diverse range of screenings.
A blood pressure screening is a quick and non-invasive test that measures the force of blood against the walls of your arteries. It is expressed as two numbers: the systolic pressure (the force when the heart beats) over the diastolic pressure (the force when the heart is at rest between beats). For example, a reading of 120/80 mm Hg is considered normal.
For this screening, our medical team will secure a cuff around your upper arm, gradually inflating it to observe blood flow. Subsequently, the cuff is released, and our healthcare professionals utilize a stethoscope to detect the returning sound of blood flow in your arm.
A diabetic screening is a targeted assessment aimed at identifying risk factors and early signs of diabetes mellitus, a chronic condition characterized by elevated blood sugar levels. This screening typically involves blood tests to measure fasting blood glucose levels or Hemoglobin A1c levels.
Our diabetes screening options include:
Both the fasting plasma glucose test and the hemoglobin A1C test involve a regular blood draw from your arm through a needle, ensuring accurate results for your diabetes risk assessment.
For ongoing monitoring, individuals with diabetes perform regular self-tests, involving a simple finger prick to obtain a small blood sample. This quick and easy procedure allows for convenient monitoring of blood sugar levels.
An asthma screening is a comprehensive evaluation designed to assess respiratory function and identify potential signs and risk factors associated with asthma. This screening typically involves breathing tests, medical history reviews, and symptom assessments to determine the likelihood of asthma.
There are two primary methods for asthma screenings: Spirometry and Peak Flow Measurement.
Spirometry is the most widely used asthma screening, assessing the volume of air you can inhale and exhale and the speed at which you can do so. Using a spirometer, a small device you blow into, the test provides results indicating the efficiency of your lung function.
Peak flow measurement is another asthma screening method, gauging the volume of air you can forcefully exhale in one breath. The results of this test provide insights into lung function and the overall control of your asthma.
Both spirometry and peak flow measurement are rapid and straightforward tests.
A high cholesterol screening is a diagnostic test designed to measure the levels of cholesterol in your blood. Cholesterol is a fatty substance vital for building cells and producing certain hormones, but elevated levels can contribute to atherosclerosis, a condition where plaque builds up in the arteries, potentially leading to heart disease and stroke.
