Good Samaritan is offering a Men’s Wellness Fair this month. The event will take place on Tuesday, September 29 at Highland Woods Community Center from 7 to 10 a.m. and again from 4 to 7 p.m. Pre-registration will be required for the event, as space is limited to accommodate social distancing.
Because of the global pandemic, this year’s event will be very different than before. This event, which was previously called the Men’s Health Tune Up, will be simplified to only include health screenings this year – thus the one-time name change to Men’s Wellness Fair. The free screenings offered will include blood pressure, colorectal take-home kits, pulse oximetry, and a lab draw that will test blood sugar, lipid profile (total cholesterol, LDL, HDL, triglycerides), glomerular filtration rate (kidney function), and PSA for prostate cancer.
Attendees must pre-register for the Men’s Wellness Fair online at gshvin.org/wellnessfair or by calling 812-885-3336. All attendees will be socially distanced and must wear a mask. Fasting for 10-12 hours before the lab draw is recommended, but not required.
