“We had 10 drawing stations set up for the health fair.  We screened approximately over 300 people. This is a complete cholesterol check, which includes both HDL (good cholesterol) and LDL (bad cholesterol),” said Isauro Resendez, Laboratory Director.

Many people, like Terri Sauceda, who attended the health fair expressed their appreciation.

“I come every year to get my cholesterol checked and get a bone density exam, “said Terri Sauceda of Mission. “It is such a wonderful gesture on the part of the hospital and the community.”
