St. Luke's to hold yearly health fair

Blood tests offered during this year's community health fair can check for cholesterol and A1c levels in addition to thyroid hormone levels. However, medical officials require participants to fast a minimum of 12 hours before having their blood drawn.

St. Luke's Elmore Center for Community Health will host its annual Health and Wellness Day from 7 to 11 a.m. Oct. 22 at North Elementary School, 290 East 12th North St., in Mountain Home.

The annual health fair has grown to be a comprehensive community education event and "everyone is encouraged to attend," a hospital spokesperson said.
