The Donley County Extension Service will hold its annual Good Health, Much Wealth, Your Choice Health Fair 2009 this Thursday, March 26, at the Bairfield Activity Center on the campus of Clarendon College.
There will be booths set up that are interactive and interesting for all ages. During the fair will be a free blood draw from 8:30-noon. This type of blood draw would normally cost $125 without insurance or a co-pay.
To break the savings down further, it is $25 for the technicians to draw the blood, then to perform the testing on the blood costs from $75-$100. This generates a full report of your lipid panel, cholesterol, glucose, and the break down.
And if a person does have insurance, they can take the official report that is mailed to them to their doctor, and they can use that instead of drawing additional blood and costing more money.
During the fair will be a sign up table for “Walk Across Texas” program. This eight week program is designed to help individuals get into the habit of walking.
Interested parties can walk as individuals or on a team. The kick off for Walk Across Texas is 2:00 p.m. at the Clarendon College track.
