County screening finds seven employees needing follow-up after artery ultrasounds
Summary
The county offered artery-ultrasound screenings for employees; organizers had expected 150 participants but screened 127, with most normal results and about seven people advised to seek follow-up care, the committee was told.
County staff reported that the employee artery-ultrasound screening served 127 people, slightly below the anticipated 150, and that most participants had normal results.
Emergency Manager George Mauldin said roughly seven people were advised to seek follow-up care based on their findings. The screenings took about 5–10 minutes per participant, and the county is considering offering the service again to continue early detection efforts.
Committee members noted that short, on-site screenings can identify potential issues early and reduce future health problems for employees.
