Health screening blood draw will take place from 6:00 am to 10:00 am this morning. The location has moved to the main floor of the Tennis Pavilion.
It helps if you fast (no food after dinner) for the blood draw, but not required. The cost is waived for lay persons and clergy not covered by conference health plan, if you are not able to pay the $90 cost. There is no cost for conference HealthFlex participants, just make sure you bring your HealthFlex card.
The blood tests are conducted at the University of Oklahoma including tests that are normally not provided in a normal office visit physical. These tests would normally cost over $800. The results will be mailed in approximately two weeks. The blood tests will also qualify those HealthFlex participants for the annual physical requirements for wellness incentive.
