Baystate Mary Lane Hospital is dedicated to help people lead healthier, fuller lives by offering affordable community health screenings throughout 2010.   

“We take a great deal of pride in bringing these health screenings in three sites in the community.” said John Olinski, MT, Supervisor, Laboratory, Baystate Mary Lane Hospital.  “Our community health screening program includes a Lipid Panel, Blood Glucose, and Blood Pressure screening.  

Baystate Mary Lane sends a copy of the results to the patients and their physicians. “We remind them to speak to their physician about their laboratory results,” said Olinski. “Their health care providers will help them decide what treatment is best for them, if any, based on their cholesterol and blood glucose screening results.”    If community members don’t have a physician we help them locate one,” said Olinski.
