Put Your Mind and Your Heart at Ease

While cardiovascular disease remains the leading cause of death in America, there’s one place in southwest Michigan that can help put your mind and heart at ease. At Borgess, we believe that when it comes to heart health, prevention is power.

That’s why we offer the free Healthy Heart Screenings. This screening includes checking your blood pressure, cholesterol levels, triglycerides, blood sugar and weight. Fasting is required and results are provided onsite.

Call 269.226.8135 or 800.828.8135 to register.

Get a Leg Up on Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD)

PAD refers to the narrowing of the arteries that supply blood and nutrients to the legs. Symptoms of PAD include leg tightness, fatigue or leg wounds that do not heal easily.

PAD screening is quick, simple and painless. To find out if you’re at risk, get a leg up and schedule your free PAD screening today. No fasting is required.

Call 269.226.8135 or 800.828.8135 to register.

Reenergizing Your Body's Regulator

Sensitivity to cold ... lack of energy ... weight gain ... stiff muscles and cramps ... dry skin and hair--these are some of the symptoms of a possible thyroid disorder. When levels of thyroid hormones are abnormally low, your body burns energy more slowly, and vital functions, such as heartbeat and temperature regulation, slow down. To discover how you can reenergize your body's regulator, sign up for our free thyroid screening today.

Through a fast and virtually painless finger poke, this screening will evaluate the level of thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) in your thyroid.

Call 269.226.8135 or 800.828.8135 to register.
