Central
Peninsula Hospital will be holding their annual Health Fair on
Saturday, April 21, 2007. The fair will be held from 9 am to 1 pm in
the hospital’s new Denali Conference Center, in the lower level of
the Mountain Tower.
“This year’s Health Fair will be similar to last year’s,” says
Marketing Director Bonnie Nichols. “We will be focusing on providing
screenings and blood tests at reduced costs as a way to help
individuals, in conjunction with their health care professional,
monitor their health.” Offered during this fair will be:
depression screening, blood pressure screening, height / weight
screening, respiratory screening, carbon monoxide level screening,
and sleep evaluations. Also available at reduced costs will be
blood chemistry panel ($40), thyroid screening - TSH ($30) and
prostate screening - PSA ($25). Additional informational booths
will be set up featuring organ donation, the CPH Lifeline monitor
program, Heritage Place, smoking cessation and more.
Those who wish
to have blood work done should remember to have nothing to eat or
drink for 12 hours prior and take medications normally, with the
exceptions of diabetics which should not fast. For
