Health Fair scheduled for May 19, 20
The Jenkins County Hospi
tal Health Fair has been a local
favorite for several years now.
Regretfully, due to various cir
cumstances, the Health Fair
will be presented in a scaled
down format this year 6 a.m.
until 2 p.m. Tuesday, May 19,
and Wednesday, May 20.
The laboratory will offer the
“discount rate” lab package as
a general health screening. The
package will include a Com
plete Blood Count (CBC), Ba
sic Metabolic Profile (BMP),
AST (basic liver screen), and a
Lipid Profile (good and bad
cholesterol screen) all for one
price of $15. In addition to the
tests offered in the package,
participants will be given the
opportunity to have their thy
roid (TSH) and/or prostate
(PSA for males) screened for an
additional $5 per test.
No physician’s order will be
required, and the results will be
sent to the participants only. It
will be up to the participants to
take the results to their physi
cians if they so choose. The lab
will not report the results to any
physicians. This is a great op
portunity for citizens and a
great health screen, which in
the past has proven to uncover
previously undiagnosed condi
tions.
The Lipid Profile and Glu
cose (included in the BMP re
quire an 8-12 hour fast (no eat
ing). Testers may have water
only and regular medications).
Testers should report to the
front lobby of the hospital to
receive a lab packet and take
advantage of this great oppor
tunity.
