From Ozarks Healthcare:
WEST PLAINS, MO – Ozarks Healthcare is making it easier than ever for community members to stay on top of their health by offering low-cost lab screenings alongside the return of its Mobile Mammography Unit this summer.
Through the end of 2025, Ozarks Healthcare’s Laboratory Services will provide affordable health screenings at several of its locations. These screenings are designed to help individuals “know their numbers” related to blood sugar, cholesterol, thyroid function, calcium, and more — key indicators of overall health that can assist in early detection and prevention.
Tests available include:
CBC (Complete Blood Count)
CMP (Comprehensive Metabolic Panel)
A1C (Diabetic Screening)
Lipid Panel (Cholesterol Screening)
PSA (Prostate Cancer Screening)
TSH (Thyroid Screening)
Vitamin D Screening
Affordable pricing begins at just $17. Screenings will be held on scheduled dates at various Ozarks Healthcare clinics, including locations in Alton, Gainesville, Mountain Grove, Mountain View, Thayer, West Plains, and more. To see a full schedule for labs, visit www.ozarkshealthcare.com.
In addition to lab screenings, women can also take advantage of Ozarks Healthcare’s Mobile Mammography Unit, which brings advanced 3D mammography technology to rural communities across the region. The Mobile Mammography Unit provides convenient, high-quality breast cancer screenings with a goal of improving early detection and outcomes.
