The Rotary Club of Warren, in conjunction with Trumbull Memorial Hospital, is offering low-cost blood analysis during its Fall Blood Analysis program Saturday from 7 to 10 a.m. at SCOPE Inc., 220 West Market St.
For $36, participants will receive chemistry, CBC Profiles and urine testing. The chemistry profile tests glucose levels, triglyceride and cholesterol levels. The CBC Profile includes white blood- cell count, hemoglobin, hematocrit and platelet. Urine testing provides important information about possible diabetes, kidney disease or blood.
