Dan Navicky, Chair of the Byesville Rotary Health Screening Committee, reported that the 2010 Health screening held on Friday, April 30, was a success. This is the 9th year that the Byesville Rotary and Southeastern Med have co-sponsored a health screening. Ray Chorey, CEO of SEMed, and Don Huston, VP of Marketing, Planning, and Development for SE Med, dropped by and were pleased with the event organization and number of people participating.
Appointments were required for people who wanted to participate in the screening program. Appointments insure that there are no lines or long waits. Participants were asked to fast 10-12 hours before coming to the screening. Juice, coffee and donuts were available to participants after they completed their screening.
The basic cost of the screening was $45 to be paid at the time of the screening. The basic screening included 26 different tests which checked for potential problems such as anemia, diabetes and heart disease, kidney and liver function. For an addition cost of $10 each, PSA and TSH (thyroid) screenings could be added. Screening results will be sent to the participants who will be responsible to get a copy to their family doctors.
SE Med personnel staffed educational displays about SEMed, colon cancer, and heart health . SEMed staff also provided blood pressure checks. Jamie Hopps, chair of the Byesville Rotary LifeLine committee, had a display with information about organ donation.
