Dahl Memorial Healthcare Association’s Annual Health Fair Blood Draw is scheduled for April 3rd, 4th, and 5th from 6:30 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. at Carter County Events Center. The cost for the basic blood draw panel is $35, and if men want to have a PSA (Prostate Specific Antigen) checked it will cost an additional $25. Hemoglobin A1C (diabetes test) will be available again this year for $15. There is also a new lab available, Vitamin D3, which costs $30. As always, payment is due at time of service.

Individuals participating should take morning medications and drink at least 8 ounces of water before going to the blood draw. Additionally, they should not eat or drink anything other than water for six hours prior to the blood draw.

The basic blood draw panel includes a Complete Blood Count, Cholesterol Profile, Liver Function Test, Thyroid Stimulating Hormone, Chemistry Panel, Uric Acid, and more; all at a fraction of the cost if done elsewhere.

Don’t miss out on this great opportunity! Lab results will be available for pick up at the health fair review which will take place at the Events Center at a later date.
