Rotary offers Spring Healthcheck in March
The annual Spring Healthcheck is sponsored by the Rotary Club of New Philadelphia and SpringVale Health Centers.
The annual Spring Healthcheck will be Saturday, March 15, sponsored by the Rotary Club of New Philadelphia and SpringVale Health Centers. The health check offers a comprehensive blood screening to measure a range of health indicators.

Elements of the blood profile include a cholesterol lipid panel for HDL, LDL and triglycerides; a comprehensive metabolic panel for kidney and liver function and blood glucose; complete blood count tests for anemia, infection and immunity; and a TSH to measure thyroid function.
The cost of the health check is $55. Testing options include a PSA screen for prostate cancer for men over age 50 and an A1C test to measure long-term management of blood sugar levels. Both of these optional tests are $15 each.
New this year, the health check will offer the ColoFit colon cancer screening take-home kit for an additional $25.
