WARSAW — Parkview Kosciusko 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, 1355 Mariners Drive, on Wednesday, June 5.

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 hospital’s lower level in Conference Rooms A and B. The event was formerly located inside the Parkview Warsaw YMCA at 1305 Mariners Drive.

Wellness Packages

Participants have a choice between two blood test packages.

1. 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, $25
• Complete blood count, $15
• Thyroid stimulating hormone, $30
• Prostate-specific antigen for men, $30

2. 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 prostate-specific antigen 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.

Single Tests

Apart from the wellness packages, three single tests are available. Fasting is not required for these tests:
