Health Fairs
Health Fair prices for a variety of services are offered on Tuesdays and
Wednesdays. Check out what we have to offer.
Body Composition
Our Hologic Discovery DXA machine gives Sweetwater Memorial the opportunity
to provide high-quality Body Composition Scans, which determine the percentages
of fat, bone and muscle in the human body.
Body fat percentage is of most interest because it’s helpful in assessing
health. Lowering the percentage can contribute to a stronger immune system
and can reduce your health risk for common chronic diseases and conditions
such as high blood pressure, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and some cancers.
Get your
body comp for $85 as part of our Health Fair offerings on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. It’s
by appointment only. Call 307-352-8187. For details, go to sweetwatermemorial.com.

Here is a list of pricing for Health & Wellness testing ONLY, which
is available Tuesdays and Wednesdays. No appointment is necessary.
-
Complete Wellness Panel - Comprehensive Chemistry Panel, $37: This includes a CMP (comprehensive metabolic panel), lipid panel and uric
acid. The CMP consists of 14 different tests that provide important information
about the current status of metabolism, including kidney and liver health,
as well as electrolyte and acid/base balance, plus glucose and blood protein
levels. The test includes glucose, calcium, albumin, total protein, sodium,
potassium, CO2, chloride, BUN, creatinine, alkaline phosphatase, ALT,
AST, and bilirubin.
-
Comprehensive Metabolic Panel (CMP), $25: This is general health testing without a lipid panel and uric acid test.
-
Basic Metabolic Panel (BMP), $20: Basic metabolic panel includes 8 different tests that provide information
on the status of the body’s metabolism. This test includes glucose,
calcium, sodium, potassium, CO2, chloride, BUN, creatinine.
- Blood type (includes Rh), $20
-
CBC with Differential, $20: A CBC, complete blood count, measures red blood cells, platelets, hemoglobin,
hematocrit and white blood cells. A CBC differential measures the number
of each type of white blood cell. CBCs can be used to detect infections,
anemia, diseases of the immune system, leukemia and other disorders. CBCs
also can be used to monitor medications, chemotherapy or other health
conditions.
-
CBC without Differential, $8: A CBC, complete blood count, measures red blood cells, platelets, hemoglobin,
hematocrit and white blood cells.
-
Ferritin, $20: Iron is stored in a protein called ferritin. Ferritin is used to monitor
total body iron stores.
-
Flu A and B (nucleic acid amplification), $80: This molecular test, more accurate than a rapid flu test, detects genetic
material from the influenza A and influenza B viruses.
-
Folic Acid, $15: Folate is one of the B vitamins. The folic acid test is used to detect
anemia or neuropathy, evaluate nutritional status, or monitor treatments.
-
G/C Chlamydia (nucleic acid amplification), $100: Gonorrhea and chlamydia are common bacterial sexually transmitted diseases
and can infect both men and women. They can cause serious complications
and if not treated can be spread to others.
-
Glucose, $10: The primary source of energy for all body tissues. This is a measure of
sugar levels in your blood. A fasting glucose of greater than 126 mg/dL
on more than one occasion is diagnostic of diabetes.
-
Hemoglobin A1C, $25: Hemoglobin A1C is a form of hemoglobin in which a glucose is attached.
Hemoglobin A1C measures the three-month average blood glucose concentration.
A1C is used to diagnose and monitor diabetes. An A1C greater than 6.5%
on more than one occasion is diagnostic of diabetes.
-
Hepatic Function Panel, $20: This liver function test is used to screen, detect, evaluate, and monitor
acute and chronic liver inflammation, liver infection, liver disease and/or
liver damage. This test includes albumin, total protein, ALT, AST, alkaline
phosphatase, bilirubin.
-
Hepatitis C, $25: Detects antibodies against hepatitis C virus (HCV). The infection can
last a lifetime and lead to liver damage, liver cancer and death. Most
people who are infected with hepatitis C don’t have any symptoms
for years. Individuals with the HCV may be capable of transmitting it
to others. Most individuals born between 1945 through 1965 should be tested
for hepatitis C. Effective treatment is available.
-
HIV, $25: The Human Immunodeficiency Virus infection may lead to AIDS. Effective
treatment is available.
-
Iron Panel (Iron + TIBC), $25: Measures iron and total iron binding capacity in the blood and is used
in detecting iron deficiency anemia, thalassemia, nutritional status,
and disorders of iron metabolism.
-
Infectious Mononucleosis, $15: Detects the viral infection of mononucleosis
-
Lipid Panel, $25: A lipid panel measures the level of total cholesterol, HDL, LDL and triglycerides.
-
Measles (rubeola) IgG, $25: May be used as evidence of vaccination.
-
OB Panel with HIV, $145: An obstetric (prenatal) panel is a group of blood tests done to check the
health of a woman during early pregnancy. This test includes: CBC with
differential, blood type and antibody screen, hepatitis B surface antigen,
rubella antibody, RPR and HIV.
-
Potassium, $10: Potassium is a mineral that your body needs. It helps your nerves to function,
muscles to contract, and cells to function. Potassium is monitored during
certain disease conditions and while taking certain medications.
-
Pregnancy, $20: Confirms a pregnancy by detecting human chorionic gonadotropin, a hormone
secreted by a developing placenta.
-
Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA), $28: The PSA test is used to detect abnormalities of the prostate gland. The
test is specific for the prostate. Elevated levels may be caused by diseases
of the prostate, such as benign prostatic hypertrophy, prostatitis and
prostatic cancer. Elevated levels are not diagnostic of cancer. Further
testing may be indicated.
-
PT/INR, $15: Prothrombin time (PT) and the accompanying international normalized ratio
(INR) are usually used to monitor individuals who are taking the blood
thinner warfarin. Coumadin is a brand name of warfarin.
-
Strep A (nucleic acid amplification), $45: This molecular test is more accurate than a rapid strep test. While most
