Colonoscopies

A colonoscopy is a diagnostic test that screens for colon cancer. During the screening, your provider uses a scope to view the inside of your colon and rectum to detect any abnormalities. 

Tuberculosis (TB) screenings

TB tests screen for tuberculosis, an infectious disease that affects your lungs. TB tests consist of skin tests or blood tests. 

Cholesterol screenings

Cholesterol screenings involve blood tests that evaluate the levels of cholesterol (fat-like substance) in your blood. Though treatable, high cholesterol increases your risk of heart problems when not addressed. Babara lets you know when to schedule your next cholesterol screening based on your risk factors. 

Sexually transmitted disease (STD) testing

STD tests consist of tissue or fluid swabs, blood tests, or urine testing. Some STDs are curable, while you must manage others for life to minimize symptoms. 

Vaccinations

Vaccinations often include injections or a nasal mist you breathe in. They protect you against contracting certain illnesses and diseases.
