PHH to hold Check-Up Days on May 6, 20

Parkview Huntington Hospital and the Parkview Center for Healthy Living invite area residents in need of lab testing to sign up for Check-Up Day events at the hospital in May.

Check-Up Day makes it convenient to obtain common lab tests at a reduced cost. The event will take place in the Wellness Classrooms from 7 to 9:30 a.m. on two Wednesdays, May 6 and 20.

Participants have a choice between two blood test packages.

The Green Package includes a lipid profile and glycohemoglobin A1C for $50. Also, any of these tests can be added for an extra charge:

• Comprehensive metabolic profile (CMP), $25
• Complete blood count (CBC), $20
• Thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), $35
• Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) for men, $35

The Diamond Package includes the two tests in the Green Package plus the four optional tests listed above for a total cost of $130. The Diamond Package can also be purchased without the PSA for $110.

Individuals who choose either package can also add any of these tests:

• Iron, $30
• Vitamin B12, $30
• Vitamin D, $55

Either package requires a 10- to 12-hour fast before the appointment. During fasting, it is OK to drink water to avoid dehydration and take regular medications as prescribed. Questions may be directed to (260) 266-6500.

Single tests

Apart from the packages, three single tests are available. Fasting is not required for these tests:

• Glycohemoglobin A1C, $35
• TSH, $35
• PSA, $35

Pre-registration is required

Participants must register for a Check-Up Day event in advance by calling (260) 266-6500. Make sure to leave a voicemail if a Parkview Center for Healthy Living team member is unavailable to take your call. Payment by credit card at the time of pre-registration is required.

Please talk with your medical provider about which lab test options may be appropriate for you.
