Helping patients prepare for and followup after laboratory testing

Posted by Staff on Wednesday, December 27, 2023

By William Kose, MD, JD
Vice President of Special Projects, Blanchard Valley Health System

Healthcare providers routinely order laboratory testing to help determine how to treat their patients. We want to take this opportunity to remind you not only that it’s important to get testing when it’s recommended but also that there are steps you can take to help make the process go more smoothly.

After the COVID-19 pandemic, many individuals have fallen behind on routine appointments and other regular healthcare. If you are not yet caught up on your laboratory tests, we urge you to sooner rather than later to ensure that any problems the lab tests identify can be dealt with promptly.

Your primary care provider can help you determine which tests you should have routinely. Generally, standard recommendations are based on an individual’s age and gender. However, the recommendations may vary depending on your specific situation, such as if there is a family history of a certain condition.

RAWSON__The youthful Ada High School boys basketball team went on the road and earned their first victory 53-40 at non-league local foe Cory-Rawson Saturday night, December 23.

The spunky Bulldogs improved to 1-6 with the big victory.

C-R dropped to 2-4 with the home defeat. 

The Bulldogs led 7-6 after a low-scoring first period, then stretched the margin a bit to 17-12 at the half. Ada pulled further ahead by a 31-23 margin heading to the final stanza.

The Bulldogs won a high-scoring fourth quarter 22-17 to post the key win.

“We basically led wire-to-wire,” said Ada third-year head coach Vince Halliday. “The first half wasn’t pretty.

“Slade (Gossman) carried us in the first half with offensive rebounds and putbacks,” he continued. “We made some shots in the second half and got one!”
