    As part of the health fair, comprehensive blood analysis is available for a substantial discount from the average cost of a comparable test.  In addition to the wellness panel of tests, additional specialized tests available for purchase include testosterone, prostate, thyroid, cardiac, vitamin D and hemoglobin A1C.

    These tests are offered by appointment in advance of the fair at South Peninsula Hospital, by appointment at the fair, or on a walk-in basis after 9am.  Appointments will be available online throughout October through the day of the fair - watch sphosp.org for the scheduling link!

    The purpose of the fair is to set aside just one day of your life to take advantage of free and inexpensive health screenings and up-to-date information on relevant health topics.  Over 60 exhibitors will be available to offer various health screenings and services, including blood pressure, vision tests, hearing tests, flu shots, fitness tests and more.
