Coming right on the heels of the Chamber of Commerce Harvest Fest, the annual Pondera Medical Center Health Fair will take place on Oct. 14, 7 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.
The medical event will be held in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, 406 S. Kansas.
A major feature of the Fair will be the blood-screening panel for $45 and $35 for a PSA ($80).
On a regular basis these tests would cost you between $375 and $445. There is no better health deal in town and for your health. You can’t afford not to take advantage of this yearly special.
If you can’t get to the Health Fair, this service will be offered at the hospital Oct. 8 through Oct. 19.
It is the season to be aware, and the PMC Clinic will again have a flu clinic for those aged nine and above. Medicare and Medicaid patients can bring your Medicare and Medicaid cards and the PMC will do the billing for you.
The PMC doctors will be putting on healthful presentations as well. See the I-O next week for topics and times.
Other highlights of the Health Fair include bone density testing for women from 8 a.m. – 1 p.m., free blood pressure and blood glucose tests as well as snacks and beverages.
The PMC will have representatives from every department on hand to answer medical questions, as will the Pondera County Health Department.
Benefis Healthcare will have representatives from the Heart Institute, Peace Hospice, Monrac Therapies, and the Sletten Cancer Institute to answer any questions you may have.
In addition, In-Line Chiropractic, the Conrad Vet Clinic, Olson’s Drug, Village Drug, the North Central Area on Aging and representatives from the Kalispell Regional Medical Center will be on hand.
From A to Z and in between, your medical questions will be answered at the Health Fair on Oct.14.
