LEWISTON, Idaho – Do you know your numbers? Last year over 350 people visited the Lewis-Clark State College Health Screening and the college is once again offering the opportunity to learn more about the status of your health.
LCSC’s third annual Health Screening will be held on March 20 from 9 a.m. until 2:00 p.m. in the Solarium of the LCSC Student Union Building. The screening is free of charge to students, LCSC faculty and staff, and the surrounding community, with the exception of the Lipid/Cholesterol panel ($15) and the Hemoglobin A1C test (diabetes, $10) - a savings of $230 for these two screenings.
