WABASH, IN– Parkview Wabash Hospital will host a Check-Up Day on Saturday,
Nov. 5, to enable people who need common lab tests to obtain them at reduced cost.
“Keeping an eye on health indicators such as cholesterol, A1C, and liver and kidney function is especially important for those who need to manage chronic health conditions,” said Debra Potempa, president, Parkview Wabash Hospital. “Check-Up Day offers a great opportunity to get those needed lab tests done quickly and conveniently.”
Parkview Center for Healthy Living team members will be set up in the first-floor Classrooms A, B and C at Parkview Wabash from 7 to 9:30 a.m. on Nov. 5.
These single tests are available and do not require fasting beforehand: glycohemoglobin A1C ($30) and thyroid stimulating hormone, known as TSH ($35).
Guests can now choose from two wellness packages: the customizable Green Package and the deluxe Diamond Package.
The Green Package includes a lipid profile and glycohemoglobin A1C for $50. In addition, participants can opt to add any of these tests onto the Green Package: comprehensive metabolic profile (CMP), $25; complete blood count (CBC), $15; thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), $30; prostate specific antigen (PSA, for men), $30; and vitamin D, $40.
The Diamond Package consists of the basic Green Package PLUS the CMP, CBC, TSH and PSA for a total cost of $115. Those who wish to purchase a Diamond Package without the PSA may do so for $100.
The vitamin D test can be added to either Diamond Package for a fee of $40.
Anyone selecting a wellness package must fast for 10 to 12 hours before their appointment. During fasting, sips of water and regular medications as prescribed are OK. Questions may be directed to 260-266-6500.
In addition to blood work, guests can also register in advance to get a $50 HeartSmart CT Scan during the event. Appointments are limited and will be scheduled on a first come – first served basis. Call 260-569-2951 to schedule a scan appointment for Nov. 5.
Check-Up Day is an appointment-only event; walk-ins cannot be accepted. A limited number of appointments are available. Participants must pre-register by calling 260-266-6500.
