Oración a San Miguel Arcángel Prayer to St. Michael the Archangel

San Miguel Arcángel, defiéndenos en la batalla. Sé nuestro amparo contra la perversidad y

asechanzas del demonio. Reprímale Dios, pedimos suplicantes y tú, Príncipe de la Milicia Celestial,

arroja al infierno con el divino poder a Satanás y a los otros espíritus malignos que andan dispersos por

el mundo para la perdición de las almas. Amén.

Saint Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle, be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil. May God rebuke him we humbly pray; and do thou, O Prince of the Heavenly host, by the power of God, cast into hell Satan and all the evil spirits who prowl about the world seeking the ruin of souls. Amen.

Important Health Screenings!

Stroke Scan Plus will be at ST. ANSGAR

performing 8 ultrasound screenings on

WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY,

DECEMBER 19TH & 20TH 2018.

Are you one of the MANY that have high

blood pressure or high cholesterol, diabetes,

or you have family history of heart disease,

stroke, or internal cancers? If so, absolutely

do not miss this opportunity for early

detection of a possible serious disease.

They will scan the arteries in the neck, the

main artery off the heart, the thyroid, liver,

kidneys, gallbladder, and the arteries in the

legs.

These screenings are typically NOT

performed at annual check-ups, nor will

insurance companies pay for them unless

you are symptomatic. Collectively, these

screenings cost thousands. They will be

offering these screenings to you for $159

for all 8 combined. You will also receive an

Atrial Fibrillation screening. Insurance is

NOT necessary to receive this discount.

However, Pre-Registration IS necessary,

and appointments are limited.

Please call 1-866-935-7226 to schedule an

appointment.

¡Exámenes Importantes de prevención!

Stroke Scan Plus estará en SAN ANSGAR

realizando 8 exámenes de ultrasonido el

MIÉRCOLES Y JUEVES, 19 Y 20 DE

DICIEMBRE de 2018.

¿Tiene usted presión arterial alta, colesterol

alto, diabetes, historial familiar de enfermedad

cardiaca, derrame cerebral o algún tipo de

cáncer? Si es así, por favor, no pierda la

oportunidad de hacerse estos exámenes de

detección temprana y prevención para poder

evitar sufrir de una grave enfermedad más

adelante.

Vamos a examinar las arterias del cuello, la

principal arteria del cuerpo (arteria aorta), la

tiroides, la vesícula, los riñones, el hígado y

las arterias de las piernas.

Estos exámenes generalmente NO están

cubiertos por las compañías de seguros por

esta razón NO se realizan en un examen

físico anual. Los seguros SOLO los pagan

cuando hay síntomas o sea muy tarde, no

antes. El precio en un hospital es muy alto;

Stroke Scan, Inc. ofrece los 8 exámenes por

$159. Al hacer su cita también va a recibir

un examen de corazón, que es un EKG de 2

vías buscando la fibrilación auricular. Es

necesario que se registre para hacer su cita.

Llame al 1- 866-935-7226 para pedir su

cita.
