Cholesterol Screening

Do you know your high density and low-density lipoprotein levels? You should. Twenty-five percent of all Americans age 20-74 have cholesterol levels that place them at risk for heart disease. Everyone should have his or her cholesterol checked at least every 5 years!

Cholesterol testing process:

  • Make an appointment with Diagnostic Services (lab) by calling 387-3245.
  • You must fast (no food or drink except water) at least 12 hours before your blood draw.
  • Prior to going to lab, come to the Office of Health Promotion and Education (room 3120, Sindecuse Health Center) to fill out paperwork. Proceed to lab.
  • Test results will be mailed to you within 7-10 days.

Cost: Call 387-3263 for current rates or if you have questions about the testing process.
