MARYSVILLE - Community Memorial Healthcare (CMH), Marysville, will host its annual spring health fair this year on Saturday, March 29, 2025. Offering low-cost blood work to the community at a fraction of the usual cost, the health fair is a popular event for Marshall County and surrounding communities. Comprehensive blood profile screenings will be from 6 to 10 a.m. in the hospital lobby. CMH offers the reduced-fee screenings as a community service.
The hospital's spring health fair normally draws about 400 people taking advantage of the reduced-cost screenings. Lab work is processed in-house by the CMH laboratory staff, and results are returned to patients early the following week.
"We are grateful to our laboratory staff for helping us put on this event and the ability it gives us to offer the testing at such low costs," Hawkinson said. "This event wouldn't be possible without the time and efforts put in by our staff on this special weekend."
Cost of the blood profile is $30. For men, a prostate cancer screening is available for an additional $15. The blood profile screening includes testing for the following:
Those having bloodwork drawn are asked to not eat 12-14 hours prior to the test. Moderate amounts of black coffee are fine, and water is encouraged. Continue taking any medications as prescribed by your physician.
Patients should enter through the hospital's main (south) doors, where they will be greeted by hospital personnel for registration. Stations will be set up in the front lobby/outpatient area for blood draws.
