Livingston County Health Center
is offering a Specialized Screening Clinic by appointment on Wednesday,
February 26th from 8 to 10 a.m. at their office, located at 800 Adam
Drive.
Testing available through these
special clinics includes:
Hepatitis C Antibody for a cost of $20. While
anyone can get Hepatitis C, more than 75% of adults infected are baby boomers,
people born from 1945 through 1965. Most people with Hepatitis C don’t know
they are infected.
Fecal Immunochem for $35. This
test screens for digestive tract bleeding, which may be an indicator of colon
cancer. The recommendation is to have
this test beginning at age 50 as part of a routine examination to screen for
colon cancer or as directed by your doctor based on family medical history. The
procedure requires taking home a test kit and collecting fecal samples, which
are then submitted to our lab. The test
must be paid for in advance.
None of the tests require
fasting.
To make an appointment for our
Specialized Screenings, call our office at 646-5506. We are able to take cash or check for payment
of services, and we cannot bill insurance at this time.
All services of the health center
are provided on a non-discriminatory basis.
