Project Life is a screening program put together by HCHS to help people know their risk factors related to cardio-vascular disease.
Cardiac and Vascular Screens include:

- Stop Bang Screen
- COPD Assessment
- Carotid artery screening
- Abdominal aortic aneurysm screening
- Peripheral artery disease screening
- One-on-one result consultation/education with HCHS Health Coach
What should I expect?
Carotid Artery Screen – You will receive an ultrasound of the neck that looks for plaque build-up.
Peripheral Artery Disease Screen – A quick and easy screen using blood pressure cuffs on your upper arms and ankles.
Abdominal Artery Screen – An ultrasound of the abdominal area screening for the presence of an aneurysm.
Why Wellness?
- Wellness screens are convenient and low cost.
- They are easy to schedule and don't need a doctors order.
- They are safe and accurate in detecting your risk factor for cardio-vascular disease.
- It is cash only; we don't bill your insurance company.
- You own your results. We will not keep copies in your medical chart.
- If your results show you have a risk factor, we encourage you to see your doctor and can make an appointment for you at any of our four HCHS clinics before you leave.
Cost to participate in Project Life: $75
