Slidell Memorial Hospital (SMH) has teamed up with Aneurysm Outreach, Inc. and Drs. Fidel Sendra, Cardiothoracic Surgeon, and David B. Kaplan, Vascular Surgeon, to offer a free abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) screening to qualified participants. This community outreach event takes place from 8 a.m. to Noon, Saturday, March 27 at SMH, 1001 Gause Blvd. Because AAA screening is recommended only once every 5-6 years for those older than 60 in the general population or those older than 55 with a family history of AAA, participants must pre-qualify and schedule an appointment. The number to call is (985) 649-8585.
