LAWRENCEBURG, Ind. — Dearborn County Hospital Home Health & Hospice is expanding its monthly community blood pressure and glucose program.
Home Health & Hospice has been providing blood pressure and blood sugar clinics once a month at nine Southeastern Indiana locations for years.
Beginning in December, DCH Laboratory Services will join with Home Health & Hospice to offer collection of physician ordered blood tests onsite at seven of these locations.
Outpatient blood work will be available for individuals 18 years of age and over. A person requesting a blood draw must provide an identification card with photo, insurance card and doctor’s order. Medicare, Medicaid and private insurance plans will be accepted.
“This new service is just another way that Dearborn County Hospital is working to make healthcare more accessible and convenient for the public,” stated Ricardo Horn, RN, BSN, Home Health & Hospice Director.
