Annual Men’s Health Event Planned

With the month of June nationally recognized as Men’s Health Month, Coplin Health Systems will be hosting an event that will allow men to be screened for various health issues.

Each year, Men’s Health Month is focused on heightening the awareness of preventable health concerns in men and to encourage early detection and treatment of disease among males of all ages.

Coplin Health Systems’ Men’s Health Day will provide men a better understanding of how to stay healthy and offer health screenings to assess their current health.

The event will be held from 7:00 a.m. until 2:00 p.m. on Monday, June 19, 2023, at the Southern Local Wellness Center, located at 906 Elm Street in Racine, Ohio.

Participants can be tested for several labs, including:

• Thyroid (TSH)
• Blood Count/Anemia (CBC)
• Cholesterol/HDL/LDL/Triglycerides (Lipids)
• Glucose/Electrolytes (CMP)
• HgbA1C
• Prostate-Specific Antigen (PSA)
• Vitamin D

Along with the screenings, educational materials will be available, including testicular self-exam cards and more.

Appointments are helpful to expedite your visit. Call 740-949-2348 or River Valley Family Care at 304-273-1033 to schedule an appointment.

The cost to attend the event is $40 — cash, check, or credit card payment will be accepted. The payment will not be billed to an insurance company.

Prior to screenings, Coplin advises participants to not eat or drink eight hours before testing.

Lab results will be mailed. Lab results can be taken to a primary care doctor for review, or participants can make an appointment with the Southern Local Wellness Center.
