Title
Approving a services agreement with JS MD Sigma PLLC (Sigma; Sigma Tactical Wellness) to provide cardiovascular and metabolic screening to participating Pflugerville Police Department employees at a cost not to exceed $89,145, and authorizing the City Manager to execute the same.
Summary
The Pflugerville Police Department would like to expand their commitment to First Responder health and wellness by partnering with Sigma to provide cardiovascular and metabolic screening for participating employees. An employee survey revealed 105 employees are interested in the early detection cardiovascular health screening. Police Officer life expectancy is almost 22 years less than the lives of the population they serve and protect. Year after year, heart disease is identified as one of the top killers of men and women in uniform. Sigma’s program has been designed to detect heart disease in both male and female first responders of all ages. Sigma has developed a state-of-the-art comprehensive cardiac screening evaluation designed to detect the early stages of cardiovascular disease before a heart attack or stroke develops. The screening consists of non-invasive vascular imaging, as well as inflammatory biomarker analysis which has been proven to be superior to traditional cardiovascular screening methods or even coronary artery calcium scoring. The cost of this service $849 per person, and if all 105 interested parties participate, the total cost will be $89,145.
