PARAMUS, NJ — Paramus residents looking to check in on key health measures have two chances this week. The Paramus Health Department will hold its low-cost blood chemistry screening Friday and Saturday at Paramus Borough Hall.
The sessions are scheduled for 7:30 to 9:30 a.m. Friday and 9 to 11 a.m. Saturday in the Caucus Room, 1 West Jockish Square. The department flyer says services include a comprehensive metabolic panel, hemoglobin A1C, lipid panel, prostate-specific antigen and thyroid screening.
"There's still time to register," the department said in its September 8 Facebook post. The flyer says the program is open to Paramus residents 18 and older. A Health Department staff member told Patch that the screening is aimed at Paramus residents, though nonresidents will not be turned away.
Residents can register or ask about services and pricing by calling Irene Brown, registered nurse, at 201-265-2100, ext. 2307, according to the department's flyer. The department also said people are welcome to call ahead or stop by on either screening day.
