Health Fair Blood Draws a Sign of Spring
March 2018 - Though this has been one of the longest winters in recent memory, the first day of spring is just around the corner and with it the 2018 Health Fair. But before healthcare providers, community organizations and folks who have something to offer in the arena of health converge on the Nolan Center in early April, the Wrangell Medical Center Lab has already started their work.
The Health Fair blood draws are now underway and we want to remind folks that the five tests (Health Profile, HA1C, TSH, Vitamin D and PSA - see below for more info) are available at the special Health Fair rate for a full four weeks (Monday – Friday, March 5 – 30) during business hours 8 am to 5 pm. We are in our third year of offering these tests for an extended period (four weeks instead of only on the day of the Health Fair) at the special rate of just $25 per test. Hospital staff have worked hard to make this longer time frame available and, regrettably, we are unable to extend the offer beyond these dates.
Results for the draws will be available during the Health Fair which takes place 9 am – 1 pm on Saturday, April 7 at the Nolan Center. If you cannot pick up your results at that time, staff will mail them to you on the next business day after the event.
One final hint, we’re finding that a good time to come to the hospital for your blood draws is mid-morning as it tends to be slower after that initial morning rush - so come see us just before your coffee break, then go warm up with that coffee!
