Some departments secure funding through local, state, or organizational grants that support firefighter health, cancer prevention, or wellness initiatives. We're happy to discuss program options that may align with available funding opportunities.

No Onsite Setup Fees. No Event Fees. No Hidden Costs.
First responder departments that host screening events through us do not get charged any onsite fees.
Why First Responders?
Working in emergency services places extraordinary demands on the cardiovascular system. Long shifts, interrupted sleep, chronic stress, heavy gear, and intense physical exertion all contribute to increased cardiovascular risk.
Many serious cardiovascular conditions develop without symptoms. Our onsite screening programs help identify potential concerns early so first responders can seek appropriate medical follow-up before a medical emergency occurs.
Cardiac Events
Remain the leading cause of death among first responders. The physical and emotional demands of the job place ongoing strain on the cardiovascular system—often without warning signs.
Leading Cause of Line-of-Duty Deaths
First Responders
-
First responders face high-stress, physically demanding conditions that significantly increase the risk of heart attack, stroke, and vascular disease—often without warning signs.
Our on-site cardiovascular wellness screenings are designed to detect issues early, helping you stay healthy, fit for duty, and ready when it matters most.

What We Screen
Carotid Artery Screening
-
What it evaluates:
This ultrasound assesses blood flow in the carotid arteries, which supply blood to the brain.Why it matters:
Plaque buildup in these arteries can develop silently and increase the risk of stroke. Early detection allows for intervention before symptoms occur.What to expect:
A quick, non-invasive ultrasound scan performed on the neck with no discomfort or downtime.
PVR/ABI (Circulation)
-
What it evaluates:
This test measures blood flow in the legs using blood pressure cuffs and waveforms to assess circulation. It also checks the circulation within the small vessels of the toes which is critical for those who are diabetic or high risk.Why it matters:
Reduced circulation may indicate peripheral artery disease (PAD), which is linked to increased risk of heart attack and stroke. Reduced circulation can lead to non-healing wounds and can lead up to amputation.What to expect:
Simple, painless testing using cuffs placed on the arms, ankles, feet and toes—completed in just a few minutes.
Aorta (AAA) Screening
-
What it evaluates:
An ultrasound of the abdominal aorta to check for enlargement or aneurysm. We look for aneurysm, dissection, and blockage.Why it matters:
Abdominal aortic aneurysms often have no symptoms but can become life-threatening if they rupture. Screening helps detect issues early.What to expect:
A non-invasive abdominal scan performed while lying comfortably, with no recovery time needed. A 4-6 hour fast is recommended for optimal evaluation.
12-Lead EKG Screening
-
What it evaluates:
This test records the electrical activity of the heart to assess rhythm and overall cardiac function.Why it matters:
An EKG can help identify irregular heart rhythms or underlying cardiac concerns that may not present with symptoms.What to expect:
Quick, painless test using small electrodes placed on the chest, arms, and legs—completed in minutes.
