FUJIFILM SonoSite, Inc., the world leader and specialist
in bedside and point-of-care ultrasound, recognizes Life Line
Screening for providing access to preventive screening services and
encouraging millions of people to take a proactive approach to
their health. With point-of-care ultrasound visualization, Life
Line Screening’s clinicians are able to look inside a patient’s
body to identify disease that could otherwise remain asymptomatic
and undetected. As a leading provider of community-based preventive
health screening events for almost 20 years, Life Line Screening
has administered over seven million screenings.
Colin Scully, Life Line Screening’s Chairman and CEO, said,
“Life Line Screening is committed to ensuring the highest level of
accuracy in our screenings and ultrasound visualization is an
important tool that plays a vital role in providing non-invasive
screening tests to our customers. In collaborating with SonoSite,
we have access to the highest quality of point-of-care ultrasound
systems. Given SonoSite’s history of reliability and robustness, we
are confident their products will continue to provide utmost
accuracy to our customers.”
“Life Line Screening provides valuable, even life-altering,
services to patients around the globe and we are excited to partner
with the leader in community-based preventive screenings,” said
Kevin M. Goodwin, SonoSite’s President and CEO. “We are proud that
our technology will continue to aid in facilitating screenings for
potentially life-saving conditions and be a part of Life Line
Screening’s mission to make screenings more accessible and
widespread.”
Quinton Goodwin, a customer of Life Line Screening (no relation
to Kevin Goodwin), had a life-changing outcome after attending a
Life Line Screening event. Despite a family history of abdominal
aortic aneurysms, Quinton was not undergoing regular monitoring of
his abdominal aorta. “I’m a person that diligently visits my doctor
for annual check-ups and found it unnecessary to go through extra
health screenings,” Mr. Goodwin declared. Taking control of the
situation and her husband’s health, Quinton’s wife encouraged him
to attend a local screening event where he discovered a five
centimeter abdominal aortic aneurysm that needed immediate medical
attention, “Now, I’m very thankful that I was encouraged by my wife
to get screened. I went to the screening event feeling great, so
when I received my test results, they nearly knocked me over.
Undergoing this preventive health screening has given me my life
and I’m now a true believer in their existence.” Click here to

In addition to providing non-invasive ultrasound screening tests
for risks of stroke and cardiovascular disease, Life Line Screening
also offers other screenings for osteoporosis risk and additional
laboratory testing for cholesterol, diabetes, kidney disease, and
others. All examinations are performed by highly trained healthcare
professionals using advanced technology.
