Annual Powder River Health Fair to be held on Thursday, April 23.
By Kerry Gardner
Powder River Health Fair is 23 years strong and this service is available to any and all in Broadus and surrounding areas. We are offering the same blood tests as in the last couple of years, please call 436-2651 to reserve a time or if you have questions or want to have an informational booth there. We have set April 23th, 2020 starting at 7:15 am for those who need to be at work by 8:00 am. Breakfast burritos and drinks will be served that morning by After Grad Committee. Come support them.
We are working with Billings Clinic laboratory again to offer screening blood studies. The tests offered are Chemistry Panel for kidney, liver and heart enzymes with electrolytes, Lipid panel for Cholesterol, Triglycerides, LDL and HDL and TSH (Thyroid hormone), PSA (for the men over 50), CBC- complete blood count for infections or anemia, Vitamin D 25-OH level, Hemoglobin A1c for diabetics. The price is the same as last year, (GREAT NEWS) these are all screening tests and this is your copy of the results to take them to your health care provider for review. Your results will be back within a week and we have information on each test available if you want it. If you are unable to pick up your results within a week, we ask that you please bring a self-stamped and addressed envelope for each person with test results and we will mail them to you. If someone else will be picking these up, please sign a note telling us who has your permission to pick up your results.
For those in the Boyes/Hammond area, Debbie Harrington has again agreed to schedule, Twin Klar and Darlynn Williams will draw at the Hammond School. Please call her @ 427-5383 to schedule a time. Please bring your stamped, self-addressed envelope and money to the blood draw and your results will be mailed to you as soon as they are available.
The success of the Health Fair is only because of our faithful volunteers in this community who help year after year, in fact, most of our help have been with us for all 20 years, which says something about our community volunteers. Please thank them when you see them, as this would not happen without their help. Thank you, Terri Bird, Lynnette Janssen, Stacey Brown, Jaci Phillips, Twin Klar, Tina Thompson, Krista Gnerer, Darlynn Williams, Stephanie Cooper, Lori Stokes, Randy Sullivan, Sharon Collins, Julie Collins and Debbie Harrington.
We thank Steve Deigadillo for his help with Billings Clinic laboratory. Louise Talcott and Carmen Turnbough have graciously offered to take your blood pressure while you are waiting or after you have your blood drawn.
We ask that you pre-register and pre –pay by April 15th, 2020 to allow for the necessary paperwork to be completed. We are not able to draw anyone who has not signed up by this time. Come in for your annual screening blood tests, have breakfast and a copy of coffee with your friends and neighbors.
If you have any questions we here at the clinic are available to answer them.
