There's something invigorating about the Fall season…the foliage exhibits its colorful splendor, the air becomes crisp, and the anticipation of a new year begins. IMH would like to help everyone improve their health and wellbeing, and what better way to revive your 2022 wellness goals by participating in our upcoming IMH "Know Your Numbers" Lab Fair, Monday, September 19th through Saturday, September 24th from 7:00 to 10:00 am. The IMH “Know Your Numbers” Lab Fair offers a blood panel with health screenings for a nominal fee. This blood panel and health screenings consists of a Lipid Panel (cholesterol, triglyceride, HDL), complete blood count with automated differential, and a comprehensive chemistry panel which includes: ALT, AST, albumin, alkaline phosphatase, bilirubin, calcium, chloride, creatinine, glucose (blood sugar), sodium, potassium, total protein, and urea nitrogen. Additional screenings are also available at an extra cost. Additional screenings include: Ferritin, thyroid profile, PSA screenings, glycohemoglobin, vitamin D and hepatitis C. “Iroquois Memorial Hospital is taking the necessary precautions to keep our patients safe as the health and wellness of our patients are our top priority,” says Jacquie Scurlock, BS MLT (ASCP) IMH Laboratory Director. ”The Know Your Numbers Lab Fair is a way to help keep you well and knowledgeable about your health at a discounted rate.” WE MAKE IT EASY 1. Patients simply come to the hospital to register the day of the event 2. No physician order is required 3. Test results will be mailed to the patient in an easy to understand report and faxed to their healthcare provider of choice. If they do not have a primary care provider, we will help them find one. 4. Payments of cash or check are accepted. No insurance claims are filed. If you plan on getting the blood panel, it is recommended to fast for 10 to 12 hours before the visit for the most accurate results.
