Laboratory Services: Wellness Testing

Wellness Testing

Wellness testing is a series of laboratory tests that help you understand your general health and identify potential risks. These screenings can detect early signs of health conditions before symptoms appear. Some common wellness tests include:

• Blood Work: Routine tests such as lipid panels, A1C, and thyroid function checks.
• Health Screenings: Evaluate cholesterol levels, liver function, kidney function, and more.
• Prevention and Monitoring: Helps establish a health baseline, track trends in your health, and develop a personalized prevention plan with your healthcare provider.

How Wellness Testing Works

At Iowa Specialty Hospitals & Clinics, we offer a simple, no-order-required option for wellness testing:

• No Physician’s Order Needed: You can come for testing without a physician’s written order.
• Results Sent Directly to You: You will receive test results within one week. We encourage you to share these results with your healthcare provider.
• Affordable and Accessible: Payment is made at the time of service, and insurance is not billed. This makes wellness testing an affordable option for many people who want to stay on top of their health.

*Individual Should Be Fasting  

Fasting for laboratory testing means no solid or liquid food for 12 hours and no alcohol for 24 hours prior to specimen collection. Water should be taken in normal amounts. Continue your medications as directed by your healthcare provider.
