VGH Health Event to Help During Tough Times

Physician directed seminars and routine lab screenings offered

Monroe, WA –Valley General Hospital presents Preventative Medicine 101 on Saturday June 27 from 9 – 11 a.m. at Valley General Hospital. Join us at VGH for this free informative session.

During these tough economic times, while people are losing their jobs and subsequently losing their health care coverage, preventative and routine health care screenings fall off the list of “to-dos” because of cost.

Register for the free information sessions and/or pay only $25 for an optional lab work-up. Our health care providers will help you make sense of some of the most important numbers when it comes to your health.

$25 lab fee includes:

• PSA (men) or Thyroid (women)
• Glucose
• Lipid Panel (HDL, LDL, Cholesterol, Triglycerides)

The two-hour seminar will discuss:
