Health Screenings

Pre-screening Guidelines

  • Abstain from food and drinks for at least 8 hours before your scheduled screening.
  • Bowel cleansing is important for effective endoscopic examinations. We will send you medication and instructions for bowel preparation in the days before your scheduled screening.
  • Together with the bowel-prep kit, we will send you a tool and a container to collect a peanut-size stool sample the day before your visit. Keep the sample refrigerated and bring it to your appointment.
  • Abstain from taking diabetic medication on the morning of the scheduled appointment. Medication for high blood pressure or other heart medication can be taken together with one cup of water at AM 6:00 the day of the screening.
  • Bring your glasses, but do not wear contact lenses on the day of your appointment.
  • Bring a pair of socks if your screening includes a Cardiac Stress Treadmill Test.
  • Ladies should schedule a screening no sooner than three days after the end of menstruation.
