INDIVIDUAL SCREENINGS 

BLOOD PRESSURE – Confidential monitoring of blood pressure is done in our office by appointment for new clients only or during the Walk-in Clinic for returning clients.  We can also advise on diet and exercise programs to achieve and maintain a healthy blood pressure range.

PEDIATRIC BLOOD LEAD TESTING – A “finger-prick” blood test is done to determine blood lead levels.  This test is usually done as a one-time school requirement.  Results take at least one week as testing is processed by the Massachusetts Department of Public Health.

GROUP SCREENINGS

BLOOD SUGAR – A “finger-prick” blood test is done to give an at-the-moment blood sugar reading. Fasting from midnight (the night before) is required.  Regular medications may be taken with only water before testing.
Please check this website, B-Cat and local newspapers for screening dates.  

LIPID PROFILE – A “finger-prick” blood test is done to determine a total cholesterol level reading with a breakdown of LDL, HDL, and Triglycerides levels.  Fasting from midnight (the night before) is required.  Regular medications may be taken with only water before testing.
