• Arterial Blood Gas Test (ABG): This simple blood test measures the levels of oxygen and carbon dioxide in your blood, allowing your doctor to monitor and manage conditions affecting your breathing and circulation.

• Fecal Occult Blood Test for Colorectal Cancer: Take charge of your colorectal health with a fecal occult blood test – a proactive screening that can help find cancer early, when it's most treatable.
• Immunization Administration: Immunizations are a simple yet powerful way to bolster your immune system and prevent serious infections throughout your life.
• Ankle–Brachial Index Test: Take charge of your heart health with an ankle-brachial index (ABI) test, a simple screening that helps detect early signs of peripheral artery disease (PAD) and prevent serious complications.
• Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitoring: Take control of your heart health by proactively monitoring your blood pressure throughout your day with ambulatory blood pressure monitoring, catching potential issues before they become serious.
• Uterine Fibroid Embolization: For women experiencing the disruptive symptoms of uterine fibroids, such as heavy bleeding and pain, embolization offers a less invasive treatment, promoting better health and reducing the impact on daily activities.
