Center for Heart Attack Prevention
Refurbished CT Trailer & Siemens Perspective 128 — Menlo Park, California
Project Overview
USA Mobile Medical partnered with the Center for Heart Attack Prevention (CHP) to deliver a fully refurbished mobile CT trailer equipped with a Siemens Perspective 128-slice CT scanner. CHP is a private preventive health group on a mission to make cardiac CT screening affordable and accessible — bringing scans directly to communities rather than waiting for patients to come to a hospital.
The Vision: CHP identified the urgent need for affordable, accessible cardiac CT screening outside of the traditional hospital setting. With scans priced at just $90 and appointments that take only 15 minutes, CHP is making preventive heart disease screening available to everyone — not just hospital patients.
