Chicago hospital offers $200 CT calcium scans
The imaging department at Saints Mary and Elizabeth Medical Center, a member of Resurrection Health Care in Chicago, is offering a coronary calcium CT scan for the discounted fee of $199 during October and November of this year.

A $500 value, the screening includes a coronary calcium CT scan with a 64-slice CT scanner. The screening also includes a written report of results and follow-up, if needed, with a member of the hospital's cardiology department, according to the hospital.

Saint Elizabeth Hospital, founded by the Poor Handmaids of Jesus Christ in 1887, and Saint Mary of Nazareth Hospital Center, founded by the Sisters of the Holy Family of Nazareth in 1894, now serves Chicago's near northwest side together as Saints Mary and Elizabeth Medical Center.
