GAINESVILLE – Santa Fe College's Cardiovascular Sonography Program is offering free ultrasound tests for heart and carotid arteries this fall. These tests are available to Santa Fe employees, their families, friends, and the general public, providing an excellent opportunity for individuals to check their cardiovascular health at no cost.

The only requirement for participants is that they must be at least 18 years old. The ultrasound tests are designed to assess the heart's structure and function and check for any potential blockages in the carotid arteries, which are vital for carrying blood to the brain.

Testing will take place in the W-Annex on Santa Fe College's Northwest Campus located at 3000 NW 83rd Street, Gainesville. The available dates for these tests are:

  • Friday, Aug. 30
  • Friday, Sept. 27
  • Friday, Oct. 25

This initiative aims to provide a valuable service to the community while offering hands-on learning experiences for students in the Cardiovascular Sonography Program. Participants will not only benefit from early detection of potential heart and vascular issues but also contribute to the practical training of future healthcare professionals.

Anyone interested in taking part in these free tests is encouraged to contact Jennifer Weeks at 352-395-5972 or via email at jennifer.weeks@sfcollege.edu to schedule an appointment or get more information.

Don’t miss this opportunity to take a proactive step toward your health and support the education of Santa Fe College's students. For more information, visit the Santa Fe College website or reach out directly to the contact provided.
