Healthcare with Heart
Our urgent care providers use the following services to assess and monitor your cardiovascular health.
Cholesterol Monitoring: High cholesterol is a leading risk factor for heart disease, making regular monitoring essential. At Midwest Express Clinic, we offer fast and simple cholesterol screenings to measure:
- ✅ Total cholesterol
- ✅ LDL (bad cholesterol)
- ✅ HDL (good cholesterol)
- ✅ Triglycerides
Our providers will help you understand your results and recommend personalized lifestyle, dietary, or medication adjustments to keep your cholesterol in check.
Blood Pressure Monitoring: Hypertension, also known as high blood pressure, is a silent but serious contributor to heart disease. Many people don’t experience symptoms, which is why routine blood pressure checks are crucial. At Midwest Express Clinic, our providers:
- ✔️ Measure your blood pressure quickly and accurately
- ✔️ Explain what your numbers mean
- ✔️ Offer expert advice on lifestyle changes, including diet, exercise, and stress management
- ✔️ Provide medication guidance if necessary
General Wellness Exams: Key to long-term heart health, a yearly check-up is one of the best ways to stay ahead of cardiovascular risks. At Midwest Express Clinic, our comprehensive wellness screenings include:
- 🩺 A full physical exam
- 📜 A review of your medical and family history
- 🥗 Discussions about diet, exercise, and lifestyle habits
By identifying potential health concerns early, we help you take proactive steps to keep your heart strong for years to come.
