Haxtun Health Fair

“Haxtun Health recognizes the community’s reliance on the annual Health Fair to get annual screenings at an affordable price. We have built these panels based on previous years’ health fairs. Participants will find the package prices are comparable, if not better, than other health fairs around”, stated Julia Biesemeier, CCRO at Haxtun Health. The Haxtun Health Fair also offers additional health screenings at no cost to participants. This year’s additional FREE Health Screenings include but will not be limited to Skin Checks, Blood Pressure, and Pulse Ox Levels along with other services & screenings. The Haxtun Hospital Foundation is also sponsoring the popular “In Body” scan machine for the first 50 participants. Learn more about the “In Body” by playing the video on your screen. Little Sprouts Learning Center will also be hosting a Breakfast Burrito Stand for those who wish to purchase breakfast after their blood draw.

This year, Haxtun Health is offering FOUR affordable lab draw panels. Health care professionals are on-hand to give participants assistance and advice to decide which package is appropriate.

• Blood Chemistry:  This screening includes a CMP and Lipid Panel.  It provides information on blood glucose, cholesterol, electrolytes, liver, kidneys, and thyroid.  The Lipid portion measures fats and fatty substances used as a source of energy in the body, including cholesterol, triglycerides, high and low density lipoprotein (HDL and LDL).  It can help you and your healthcare provider monitor and identify health issues like diabetes and heart disease.
• Complete Blood Count: This screening measures several components and is used to evaluate your overall health and detect a wide range of disorders, including anemia, infection and leukemia.
• Hemoglobin A1C Diabetes Screening: This screening measures your average blood sugar control for the past 2 to 3 months, and screens for Type 2 diabetes/prediabetes or used to follow existing diabetes treatment.
• Vitamin D: Provides baseline Vitamin D levels, which is important to bone health and may affect other vital body functions.
• Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA): A popular screening with men, this measures a protein produced by the prostate gland. After discussion with your healthcare provider, this screening may be recommended for individuals age 69 or younger, or those with a family history of prostate cancer.
• Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH): A popular screening with women, this test is a screen for overall thyroid function

Haxtun Health recommends not eating or drinking anything except water after midnight before lab work to best prepare for a blood draw. Drink plenty of water and continue to take prescription medications. People with diabetes should not fast. Check with your healthcare provider for specific recommendations.
