Health Screen
Affordable, preventive health screening
Preventive health screening is important, but sometimes people put it off due to expense. At our clinic, we offer Health Screens as an affordable way to do preventive screenings and to get a check up on your health. A Health Screen is a Nurse Visit; an Office Visit with the doctor is not required. You should be fasting (nothing to eat or drink except water for 8 hours).
The basic health screen includes:
- Height, Weight, BMI, Body Fat, and Blood Pressure measurements
- Lipid panel (cholesterol and triglycerides)
- Metabolic panel (blood sugar, kidney, and liver function)
- Blood count (CBC)
From the options below, please choose which further things you would like done (you are not required to have all or any of these tests with the Health Screen).
