Metroplex Wellness and Wound Care Combine Efforts to Keep You Healthy
KILLEEN — Learn how the new Center for Wound Care and Hyperbaric Medicine can help you put the fun back in your life while receiving a complete health screening from Metroplex Wellness.
On July 1st from 9:00 to 11:00 a.m., the two teams will join to provide free information on wound management and hyperbaric medicine and tests for your total cholesterol, glucose, blood pressure and body fat analysis.
The health screening is free for eligible participants and $20 for all others. It is located in the Metroplex Medical Plaza, Suite 122 on the main hospital campus, 2201 S. Clear Creek Road in Killeen.
Our screenings are designed to inform the patient as well as the provider with accurate results. Participants receive a copy of their results, and a carbon copy is sent to their primary care provider (with permission). This is one of the extra services Metroplex Wellness is providing to participants.
