Posted on May 4, 2012 by fairmounthomes

Fairmount Homes, in conjunction with Quest Diagnostics, is sponsoring a Health Screen on May 9, 2012, in the Farm Crest Community Room at 1100 Farm Crest Drive on the east side of the Fairmount Homes campus. The Health Screen will be conducted from 6–9 a.m. and is open to the public.

The Health Screen covers 30 tests designed to detect anemia, heart disease, both good (HDL) and bad (LDL) cholesterol, diabetes, gout, and  liver and kidney disease, to name a few. Also included with the screen is a lifestyle evaluation. To achieve accurate results, nothing should be eaten for 10 hours prior to the test, although water and medications may be taken. Two copies of your test results will be mailed directly to your home. All test results are strictly confidential.

The cost of the testing is $50. Testing for thyroid (TSH) and prostate screening (PSA) will be available for an additional fee of $20 each, and a Vitamin D screen is available for an additional $30.00. Payment by cash or check is due on the day of the Health Screen.
