Please fast for a minimum of 12 hours prior to the time blood is drawn. This means no food or drinks except water. Please do not smoke the morning of the health fair.

Your physician’s information will be asked at the time of registration. Your blood will then be drawn and transported back to the lab on Main Street in Coshocton. After analysis is complete, the results will be forwarded to your physician at no charge. If you choose to receive the results, they can be sent to you for a donation of a canned food item or $1.

Light refreshments will be served after blood is drawn. For additional information, call Dan or June at 740-545-6743. The event is sponsored by the Rotary Club of West Lafayette and assisted by Coshocton Laboratory International at 660 Main St., Coshocton and Coshocton County EMS.
