Anemia Screening - back to top
Anemia occurs when you have too few red blood cells in your blood. Oxygen gets transported throughout the body by red blood cells. The lack of oxygen to your body is what causes the fatigue associated with anemia. Many people are not even aware that they suffer from anemia.

Blood Typing - back to top
Although most Americans do not know their blood type, it is important to know especially in the event of an emergency. In the case of a transfusion, a person's blood type needs to be compatible with the donor's blood type. If not, an allergic-type reaction can occur resulting from the immune system of the recipient attacking the incompatible donor blood cells as invading organisms.

Blood typing is determined by the type of antigens or markers that are on the surface of red blood cells (either "A" or "B") and if there are antibodies to a portion of the blood type known as the Rh factor (either "positive" or "negative"). Blood type is inherited from and dependent upon, the blood type of an individual's parents. A simple fingerstick test can determine your blood type in seconds.
