Health Screenings
For over 20 years, JASC has hosted health screenings once a year for all ages 18 and over. Blood pressure, blood screening tests, and advice on nutrition and other health- and fitness-related topics are offered. We have partnered with a doctor and dentist near Marietta to offer further consultation and advice.
The basic screening is a blood chemistry test that will screen for diabetes; cholesterol; liver function; kidney function; electrolytes including potassium and calcium; iron; and blood counts. This test typically costs $100-200 when performed in a doctor’s office.
General health information will be available on cancer, mammograms and cardiovascular conditions. In addition to the Basic Screening test, tests for Prostatic Specific Antigen, Helicobacter Pylori-IgG, Glycohemoglobin and, Thyroid Stimulating Hormone Test will be offered.
