Greatly Discounted Blood Draws Offered

Appointments for greatly discounted blood draws are now available for October 22 through November 5 as part of the annual Rotary Health Fair. Provided by a partnership between South Peninsula Hospital and Homer Kachemak Bay Rotary, these various wellness screenings are offered at remarkably discounted rates, both in comparison to regular prices as well as last year’s Health Fair prices.

New tests offered this year include a vitamin panel for $70 and an iron panel for $30. Other test offerings include a basic panel for $40; A1C for $35, PSA for $35; TSH for $30; Vitamin D for $40.  The Wellness Package, which includes the basic panel, TSH, and Vitamin D, is only $99, down from last year’s $185. Free flu shots will be available at appointments while supplies last.

Appointments are required, and payment is collected at booking. Proceeds benefit community programs sponsored by Homer Kachemak Bay Rotary.

Participants can access their results as soon as they are available through their MyChart patient portal and are invited to bring their test results to the annual one-day Rotary Health Fair for free consults with local medical providers. The fair is Saturday, November 8th from 9am-1pm at the Community Christian Church on Bartlett Street in Homer. Exhibitor space is still available at the fair; the application is online at rotaryhealthfair.org.
