In 2005 I was struck down by a stroke while taking my morning shower, at home. There were no warning signs or red flags. I found later that most stroke victims, including myself, had no prior warning signs. After 30 days in intensive care I was released into a new life reality. Thus, I began my journey in the personal health discovery process. To this day, the difficulties we Americans face in affordable health care and the personal discovery of treatable diseases keeps me energized and vibrant.

As I ran into the difficulties of insurance limitations, high deductibles, and my own desires for specific tests, I became frustrated. The truth is I was caught in the reality that all Americans face in medical care. The cost was too high and the quality life saving technology that exists today was not easily accessed. Americans are creative. When we are told you have to have insurance, or you have to have a physicians order, or it can't be done...we find a way. I wanted to know why people can't just take the tests or screenings they want or desire without any contingencies? Can't you just pay for them? I was determined to be proactive with my personal health care. We are all perfectly capable of discovering a medical condition before symptoms or problems arise. I learned the hard way that finding a condition at its earliest stage is crucial for the best outcome.

Shortly after experiencing this mountain of bureaucracy, I began forming Health Screening America. Armed with personal dedication I assembled an organization which included board-certified physicians, sonographers, and like-minded compassionate people whose business principles I respected. We began our journey. We wanted to create an entity that would enable every person to test (affordably) for common silent killers quickly and easily right in their neighborhoods. We wanted to find and stop stroke, heart disease, diabetes, and other killers before our clients fell obviously ill.

Don't ever wait for anyone to tell you to test for treatable diseases. Armed with the speedy results of the tests we provide, you can then visit with your physician and determine if treatment or additional testing should be ordered. Just don't wait to begin your personal health discovery process. You must start now.

We urge you to take these simple tests and bring your parents and all your loved ones with you.

You can take these life saving tests by simply removing your shirt, socks, and shoes. In order to maintain health and well being it is best to take these and other tests annually. Your condition can improve or deteriorate rapidly. The point is, be pro-active in your personal health discovery process. Don’t wait for something to happen. It could save your life.

Respectfully and sincerely yours,

Thomas S. Rodgers, Sr.
