Thyroid Function Screening

January is Thyroid Awareness Month, which is the perfect time to be sure your thyroid is functioning adequately.  come to Emory Adventist for a TSH blood test to determine thyroid function. 

An underactive thyroid can cause symptoms such as weight gain, fatigue, constipation, dry-skin and more.  An overactive thyroid can cause a number of symptoms, including weight loss, rapid heart rate, nervousness and diarrhea. 

Note: If you are currently under the care of a physician for a thyroid condition, this screening should in no way substitute the monitoring of your condition through your physician.

The screening will be held in the hospital cafeteria.  Please call  to schedule your appointment time.
