Deaconess Memorial Medical Center is lining up two practical health services for Jasper-area adults next week: a $30 community health screening and a $68 Adult First Aid and Adult CPR AED class at Memorial Southside. Both offerings are aimed at giving residents a quick way to check on health risks or learn emergency skills without leaving Dubois County.

The community health screening will take place Friday, June 26, from 6 to 9 a.m. at Memorial Southside Office, 1100 West 12th Avenue in Jasper. It is open to adults 18 and older and is designed to fit into a busy morning, with the entire visit expected to take about 15 minutes. Participants will need to fast for 12 hours before the appointment.

The screening will include cholesterol testing for total cholesterol, HDL, LDL and triglycerides, along with a blood glucose check through a finger stick. For residents watching heart health, blood sugar or broader metabolic risks, it offers a low-cost snapshot that can flag problems worth following up with a doctor. Pre-registration is required.

The CPR class will be held Wednesday, June 24, from 7:30 a.m. to noon in the Health and Wellness Classroom at the same Memorial Southside location. Deaconess describes it as a business and industrial emergency-care class that covers CPR, AED use and basic first-aid priorities, and says it satisfies OSHA requirements for industry and business settings. Seating is limited, and registration is required in advance.

An optional Bloodborne Pathogens add-on is available for $20, adding more instruction on reducing occupational exposure risks. People can sign up through Deaconess Memorial Medical Center’s website or by calling Deaconess Wellness Solutions in Jasper. For local households, employers and organizations, the two events offer a straightforward chance to handle both prevention and preparedness in the same week.
