Health department offering screenings

The Bartholomew County Health Department will offer screenings of total cholesterol, triglycerides, LDL, HDL and hemoglobin next month.

The tests are available by appointment only during the mornings of July 10 and 24 at the health department, 2675 Foxpointe Drive, Suite B.

Participants of the cholesterol screening must fast for 12 hours prior to the test, but fasting is not required for the hemoglobin screening.

Residents can schedule for both screenings.

A hemoglobin screening costs $2 and a cholesterol screening costs $15. Cash, debit or credit cards are accepted.

For more information or to schedule an appointment, call 812-379-1555, Option 1, between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. Monday through Friday.
