Civic clubs to host health profile event
Union Hospital’s phlebotomy staff will draw the blood samples, and testing will be completed in the hospital’s laboratory.
The Dover-New Philadelphia Kiwanis Club and the New Philadelphia Rotary Club will combine efforts again to present the Fall Community Health Profile 2022 on Saturday, Sept. 10 at Cleveland Clinic Union Hospital with appointment times available from 6-11 a.m.
The blood-screening event covers a range of health indicators at a discounted price and is offered as part of a fundraising project to support the community programs of the two clubs.
Appointments are required for this event. Walk-ins will not be available. Appointments are accepted online and by telephone until they are completely filled.

Telephone appointments can be made by calling the hospital’s community relations department weekdays from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. at 330-308-3599.
The blood profile testing includes blood sugar, cholesterol (HDL, LDL, triglycerides and total cholesterol), anemia, thyroid function, liver disease and kidney disease.
The cost is $45 for the complete testing package, and for an additional $15, men age 50 and older can receive a PSA prostate screen. Payment is made to the clubs and is by cash or check only on Sept. 10. Checks should be made payable to Dover-New Philadelphia Kiwanis Club.
Union Hospital’s phlebotomy staff will draw the blood samples, and testing will be completed in the hospital’s laboratory.
