About Health Tests & Screenings

Despite a long list of things we love about living in The Last Frontier, Alaska’s winters can take a toll on one’s health. Staying active can be difficult with the cold temps and lack of sunlight. While some view winter as having a positive impact on their health, remaining active through skiing, snowshoeing, and the like, many others prefer to stay indoors. Eventually they might pursue a gym membership, eager to jump right into some aerobic activity and weight lifting to shed that “winter weight.” We encourage that, but there’s a risk.

Anyone challenged with obesity, with known health concerns, or anyone over the age of 40, especially after prolonged inactivity or noticeable declines in fitness, should obtain a baseline health assessment before jumping into strenuous exercise. Don’t risk putting undue stress on organs and body systems that are potentially already in a state of medical decline. Health Tests & Screenings are available at all five MedPhysicals Plus locations: Fairbanks , Anchorage, Juneau, Wasilla, and Soldotna. 

Alaska’s population ranks in the middle in terms of obesity compared to other states, but when looking to lose weight or get fit it’s important to know your baseline fitness and health concerns. This will influence what types of exercise and foods will be most appropriate in meeting your fitness goals and finding the best version of yourself. Knowing and understanding your body will help to make a difference. There are many health tests available to the public, but before scheduling something more expensive and potentially less comprehensive, consider a Health Test & Screening with MedPhysicals Plus. There’s no requirement for a doctor referral, and the test results can help you determine what other steps you need to take, including sharing the results with your physician.

Our wellness test panel provides health data on a broad range of organ and body systems including the Heart, Liver, Thyroid, Circulatory System, Kidneys, Glands, Nerves, Bones and Muscles.

At MedPhysicals Plus, the Health Test & Screening consists of Complete Blood Count, Comprehensive Metabolic Panel, and Lipid Profile. Additionally we provide complimentary blood pressure readings and height and weight measurements. Our health and wellness package provides vital information to assist in making important health decisions, and can be passed on to a medical provider if necessary.

A screening can be given as a gift to someone you care about, or MedPhysicals Plus can schedule group screenings for your workplace, other organization, or friends and family.
