PKH Hosting Check-Up Day Oct. 15

Posted

Parkview Kosciusko Hospital (PKH) and the Parkview Center for Healthy Living invite area residents in need of lab testing to sign up for Check-Up Day at the hospital, 1355 Mariners Drive, Warsaw, on Oct. 15.
Check-Up Day makes it convenient to obtain common lab tests at a reduced cost. The event will take place from 7 to 9:30 a.m. on the hospital's lower level in conference rooms A and B.
Participants have a choice between two blood test packages. The Green Package includes a lipid profile and glycohemoglobin A1C. Also, any of these tests can be added for an extra charge:
• Comprehensive metabolic profile (CMP),
• Complete blood count (CBC),
• Thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH),
• Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) for men
The Diamond Package includes the two tests in the Green Package plus the four optional tests listed above. The Diamond Package can also be purchased without the PSA.
Individuals who choose either package can also add any of these additional tests: Iron, Vitamin B12 or Vitamin D.
Either package requires a 10- to 12-hour fast before the appointment. During fasting, it is acceptable to drink water to avoid dehydration and take regular medications as prescribed. Questions may be directed to 260-266-6500.
Apart from the packages, three single tests are available. Fasting is not required for these tests: Glycohemoglobin A1C, TSH or PSA.
Pre-registration is required. Participants must register for a Check-Up Day event in advance by calling 260-266-6500. Make sure to leave a voicemail if a Parkview Center for Healthy Living team member is unavailable to take your call. Payment for lab tests must be made in advance by credit card only.
