As part of Heart Health Month, the University Health Center will offer faculty and staff a fasting lipid profile Feb. 16–20 and 23–27 from 8–10 a.m. at the health center.
The test results will include total cholesterol, HDL/LDL breakdown and triglycerides. The cost is $10, and an appointment is required. To make an appointment, contact the health promotion department at (706) 542-8690. There is a limit of 75 people.
Test subjects must fast (nothing to eat or drink except water for 10–12 hours prior to having blood drawn). Participants are encouraged to drink plenty of water so they are fully hydrated at the time blood is drawn. Results will be given within one to two weeks. Sign up to receive results at the time blood is drawn.
Participants may park in the health center patient lot. Check in and then go directly to the laboratory. Additional information is available at www.uhs.uga.edu.
