February Is Pump Month at Wayne HealthCare

February is all about the heart, and at Wayne HealthCare, we’re leaning into it in a big way. Pump Month is our month-long focus on heart health, prevention, education, and simple steps our community can take to protect their hearts. From screenings and educational events to wellness programs and hands-on activities, there’s something for every age and stage of life.

Heart disease remains the leading cause of death in the U.S., but many risk factors can be managed with early detection, healthy habits, and the right support. That’s what Pump Month is all about.

Easy, Affordable Heart Screenings

All month long, Wayne HealthCare is offering quick, convenient heart screenings designed to remove barriers and make heart health more accessible.

$15 Lipid Panel
Available during outpatient lab hours (Mon–Fri 7 am–5 pm, Sat 7 am–Noon). An 8–12 hour fast is required. This screening checks total cholesterol, HDL, LDL, and triglycerides.

$20 EKG
No appointment necessary. No doctor’s order required.

$35 Vascular Screening*
Includes carotid, abdominal aorta, and peripheral arterial disease screenings. Appointment required, but no doctor’s order needed.

These screenings are a simple way to know your numbers and start informed conversations about your heart health.
