Reduced-cost wellness screening to be held at Cox Monett Hospital

Cox Monett Hospital will host a Community Live Well Screening on Sept. 25 to help local residents have updated information about their health.

For $40, participants will receive complete blood count, comprehensive metabolic panel, full lipid profile (cholesterol, LDL, HDL, triglycerides), Hgb A1C (blood glucose), TSH (thyroid), and, for an additional $15, a PSA test (prostate cancer). Tests are performed on a walk-in basis, and are self-pay only.

“Now more than ever, it’s important for people to take charge of their health and to know their risk factors,” said Shannon Hobson, RN, screening coordinator. “We have offered these preventative screenings for many years and we always have a great turnout—we urge everyone to know their health statistics so changes can be made to help ward off chronic diseases.”

The screening will be held inside the lobby of the new CoxHealth Monett Clinic, 1000 E. Hwy. 60 in Monett from 7 to 10:30 a.m.

All participants will be required to wear a face mask and follow social distancing guidelines. Temperature checks will performed prior to the blood draw. Participants are asked not to attend the screening if they have a pending COVID-19 test, a confirmed positive COVID-19 test in the prior 14 days, or have been around someone with COVID-19 in the prior 14 days.

In addition to the screenings, COVID-19 vaccines will be available to anyone age 12 or older.
