COLUMBIA CITY — Parkview Whitley Hospital 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 on Wednesday, Dec. 4.

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 lower level of the hospital.

Check-Up Day wellness packages

Participants have a choice between two blood test packages.

The Green Package includes a lipid profile and glycohemoglobin A1C for $50. Also, any of these tests can be added for an extra charge:

• Comprehensive metabolic profile (CMP), $25
• Complete blood count (CBC), $15
• Thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), $30
• Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) for men, $30

The Diamond Package includes the two tests in the Green Package PLUS the four optional tests listed above for a total cost of $115. The Diamond Package can also be purchased without the PSA for $100.

Individuals who choose either wellness package can also add any of these additional tests:

• Iron, $15
• Vitamin B12, $25
• Vitamin D, $40

Either wellness package requires a 10- to 12-hour fast before the appointment. During fasting, it is OK to drink water to avoid dehydration and take regular medications as prescribed. Questions may be directed to 260-266-6500.
