Some of the screenings look at blood pressure, cholesterol and glucose levels which can often reveal early warning signs for heart disease, stroke and diabetes.

In addition, screenings for prostate cancer, glaucoma, vascular disease, memory loss, anxiety, osteoporosis, and more are offered on at various times from Stony Brook Medicine.
