Daviess Community Hospital (DCH) has emphasized the life-saving potential of its Calcium Heart Scan, as evidenced by local patient Mike Williams. On March 7, Williams, the father of DCH Chief Financial Officer April Settles, underwent the scan, revealing a severe calcification score of 1,557, significantly above the threshold of 400, which is considered a high risk for heart disease. Williams’ experience was part of DCH’s new initiative, offering the Calcium Heart Scan for $49 to determine heart attack and heart disease risk. The results led to further testing, which confirmed significant blockages. For more information or to schedule an appointment, call (812) 254-9324.
