AUSTIN-BASED HEALTHYES!™ PROVIDES EASY, AFFORDABLE, NON-INVASIVE MOBILE MEDICAL SCREENINGS

Screenings provide specific detailed measurements for clients
and their doctors

Austin, TX (May 6, 2008) – HealthYes!™, now based in Austin, Texas, is a premier provider of mobile medical screenings. The company provides valuable information about personal health through the use of advanced screening technology, including Color Doppler ultrasound, automated oscillometry, and bone densitometry. These tests can help detect the risk of “silent killers” such as stroke, heart attack, and osteoporosis long before any symptoms are present.

The HealthYes! screenings are easy, affordable and non-invasive. The results are fast and accurate – available in less than a week with the kind of specific information and measurable data that clients and their doctors can understand and use.

“These preventive screenings are one of the most important steps that we as individuals can take to educate and empower ourselves where our own health is concerned,” said Craig Lindley, Co-Founder of HealthYes! “They provide a critical baseline against which doctors can measure future readings, adjusting recommendations and treatment accordingly. What distinguishes HealthYes! is the detailed information we give our clients.”

HealthYes! skilled medical technicians use state-of-the-art, FDA-approved technology to generate actual images and specific numeric data. Once screenings are complete, all images and readings are sent to board-certified, Austin radiologists, who review the information and provide expert analyses.

“The process is painless, the technology is accurate, and all images and information are provided in an easy to understand packet,” said Lindley. “And, perhaps most importantly, results have been proven to help identify underlying disease in seemingly healthy people.”

HealthYes! screening events are held at community centers, fitness centers, churches, schools and other suitable facilities throughout Austin and Central Texas. Screenings include:

• Stroke Screening – Multiple ultrasound images of the right and left carotid arteries can help identify conditions affecting blood flow, blood flow velocities, and plaque build-up. Eighty-seven percent of all strokes occur due to clots that block arteries in the brain. Carotid Artery Disease is a leading cause of these clots.
• Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm (AAA) Screening – Multiple ultrasound images and measurements at various points along the aorta, the largest blood vessel carrying oxygen-rich blood to the rest of the body, indicate any abnormal enlargement. An aortic aneurysm can occur anywhere along the aorta, but a large majority of these types of aneurysms occur in the belly area. An undetected and untreated AAA can have lethal consequences.
• Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) Screening – An oscillometry machine detects plaque build-up which occurs as the arteries in the legs narrow and harden (atherosclerosis). This serious disease can restrict blood flow and cause pain when walking. One in every 20 Americans over the age of 50 has PAD, a condition that raises the risk for heart attack and stroke.
• Arterial Stiffness Index (ASI) Screening – Also measured through automated oscillometry, ASI screening results provide specific data regarding arterial hardening, missed heartbeats, arrhythmias, blood pressure, and pulse patterns. ASI has been shown in studies to correlate with coronary artery disease. Currently, HealthYes! is the only local screening company offering the Arterial Stiffness Index.
• Osteoporosis Screening – A bone densitometer provides a Bone Mineral Density (BMD) measurement, expressed as a “T Score,” as well as fracture risk and skeletal strength. Osteoporosis is a disease in which bones become fragile and more likely to break. If undetected and left untreated, osteoporosis will typically progress, painlessly, until a bone breaks – often in the hip, spine, or wrist. Statistically, life-expectancy decreases dramatically following such a break. While osteoporosis is most commonly associated with women, it is estimated that one in every four men over 50 will have an osteoporosis related fracture in their lifetime.

Along with President and Co-Founder Dale Wood, Lindley recently made the decision to relocate HealthYes! from Cleveland, Ohio to Austin. “We’re excited to be here,” he offered, adding, “We know Austinites care about their health and quality of life – and that’s what we’re all about.”

HealthYes! opened its corporate offices on South Congress Avenue in Austin, TX in July 2008.
