2021 Individual Offsite Screening Program

This year we are offering an option to participate in a health screening to help you have a better understanding of your overall health and wellness. This offering is offsite at a labcorp facility. You can choose what is tested and being screened. The best part is if you are in the PPO, there are no additional costs to you. HMO members will have additional costs for fees and tests. The attached flyer provides information on how to sign up and all of the screenings you can select.


Contact Crissy Cooper ccooper@lfschools.net with any questions regarding the flu shot clinic or offsite screening program.
