Kearny, NJ -- On Wednesday, July 29, from 2:00 – 4:00 p.m., Clara Maass Continuing Care Center at West Hudson, an affiliate of the Saint Barnabas Health Care System located at 206 Bergen Avenue in Kearny, will host a free Bruit* Stroke Screen.

*A cartoid bruit (brue-ee) is an abnormal, harsh sound that is heard by placing a stethoscope over an artery in the neck. The presence of this sound can indicate the build up of cholesterol and fats on the artery wall (atherosclerosis) which can put you at a higher risk for stroke. If this sound is heard during the screening at Clara Maass, you will be referred to your primary care physician for follow up.
