Here ye Here ye, for all you women out there, Monday will ring in Women’s
Health Week. In lieu of bettering our health, a Foxboro, Massachusetts
medical center is offering free screenings for women. Whether you are
looking to get a body scan or a varicose vein scan, the Brigham and
Women’s/Mass General Health Care Center is offering it all from April 30th –
May 7th.
The Walpole Times (local newspaper) said, “Events will include free
screenings for varicose veins as well as skin health analyses, and free mini
facials provided by Green Tangerine Spa and Salon. Health lectures for
women will be held on chronic pain management, bladder problems, ACL injury
and skin cancer prevention. *Varicose Vein Screenings *will be held
Thursday, April 30, from 5 - 8 p.m. Concerned about varicose veins? This
screening evaluates you for a new one-hour laser treatment that can return
you back to your normal everyday activities.”
Varicose veins often plague millions of women worldwide, and a large number
of cases go undetected or simply untreated which may ultimately cause Deep
Vein Thrombosis (DVT) and other more serious ailments.
