A long-time community service of GRMC has been the annual
wellness blood screen.
This year’s wellness screen is scheduled for Wednesday
morning, February 12. It will be held from 6:30 to 9 a.m. in the West Tomasek Conference
Center, GRMC, in Grinnell. You do need an appointment and you need to come
fasting for at least 12 hours. To make an appointment for the screening, call
GRMC wellness department at 641-236-2999.
It includes a comprehensive metabolic panel with the fasting
lipid profile for cholesterol levels; complete blood count (CBC); glucose and
other tests to measure liver and kidney function; as well as metabolic
indicators of early disease status. This comprehensive screening ensures that
your physician has the most complete information about your overall body system
function. And, the results may give the motivation to change your lifestyle
habits to enhance health and well-being. Heart disease is the number one health
concern for Americans.
We often say that knowledge is half your health. Keeping an
eye on these numbers is important to achieving and maintaining your health.
