PREVENTIVE SCREENING PROGRAM
HEARTSCAN SERVICES CARDIOVASCULAR AND THYROID SCREENING FOR RETIREES
In our continuing effort to track the latest innovative technology and provide enhanced benefits to
our retired members, the DEA is proud to offer an additional discount, for those of you who would
like to participate in the Heartscan Services Cardiovascular and Thyroid Screening Program.
Statistics show that heart disease is the #1 killer and stroke is the #3 killer of people in the
United States. Every 60 seconds someone in the U.S. dies of a heart attack and every 40
seconds someone has a stroke. These diseases are preventable if detected and treated early.
Most people are symptom free and therefore most insurance companies will not cover the
tests that identify their risk.
Thyroid Nodule Screening can identify early the potential risk for thyroid cancer. Thyroid
cancer is the fastest increasing cancer in the United States and particularly for our first
responders.
