Two updates from the folks at Avita Health System:
Reduced Cost Blood Screenings
During April, Reduced Cost Blood Screenings will be available at Avita Hospital and the Bellville Walk-In Clinic. To participate, individuals must purchase a voucher from the Cashier’s Office at either of these locations from April 3-30. Vouchers cost $15-$30 and can be redeemed for specific blood screenings, including General Panel, PSA, HgbA1c, TSH, and Vitamin D, 25. Testing preparation requirements must be met, but vouchers can be purchased and redeemed on the same day.
Cashier’s Office hours are Monday-Friday from 8:00am to 4:30pm. Hospital Lab hours are Monday-Friday from 6:00 AM – 5:00 PM, Saturday from 7:00 AM – Noon, and closed on Sunday. The Bellville Walk-In Clinic is open daily from 8:00 AM – 8:00 PM.
