Throughout the month of April, the Illinois Department of Public Health will celebrate 30 Days of Public Health. To coincide with National Public Health Week, during the month of April, the Warren County Health Department offers discounted labs for a two-week span, explains Community Health Coordinator Kira Schumm:

“Starting April 21st and going through May 1st, we will be offering a pretty standard panel that doctors want to see their patients get either every year or every six months. Instead of that being $135, it is $75, which includes a full lipid panel, which is your good cholesterol, bed cholesterol, triglycerides; your hemoglobin A1C, that looks at your blood sugar over the last three months; your comprehensive metabolic panel, that really looks at organ function and providers like to see that to make sure medications are not negatively impacting your organs; and then a complete blood count. We also discount the prostate specific antigen and something that has become recently a little more popular is some vitamin tests. We discount our vitamin D test and our vitamin B12.”

Clients will need to fast for twelve hours prior to lab appointments. To schedule an appointment during the discounted lab weeks, contact Kira at the Warren County Health Department at 309-734-1314, extension 3.
