A final change this year is how test results will be delivered. Participants will receive results through their patient portal, accessible from www.pdh.org. Participants who do not have a PDH patient portal account will be issued an invitation on the day of their appointment.
In line with past years, the health care package costs $75, payable by cash or check on the day of the event. Insurance will not be billed. Testing includes: Complete Blood Count, Comprehensive Metabolic Panel, Thyroid Stimulating Hormone, and Lipid Panel.
Dr. Hannah Mirrashed, Director of Research and Clinical Laboratory at Plumas District Hospital, will offer COVID-19 antibody and antigen testing. The sole purpose of the test is to measure the immunity levels of the Quincy community for public health surveillance. The result will help to study diversity and presence of antibodies correlates to the strength of the community immune response against COVID-19 infection.
For an additional charge, Hemoglobin A1C for diabetes screening, and prostate cancer screenings (PSA) will be available.
Participants must not eat for 12 hours prior to the blood draw. Continue normal intake of water and take any medication as usual.
