Kiwanis is a global organization of volunteers dedicated to changing the world one child and one community at a time. We meet every Wednesday from noon to 1:00 p.m. at Shawnee State's Kricker Innovation Hub.
Local residents can now have genetic testing done to determine their future chances of developing a heart condition, thanks to the SOMC Cancer Center. While genetic testing for cancer was already previously available, testing is now available for heart disease as well.
Ashley Risner, a Nurse Practitioner at the Center, visited our Kiwanis luncheon on August 26 with all the details. She is pictured with Club President Kara Tieman.
Are you interested? If so, ask your family or heart doctor for a referral (for insurance purposes), and you will receive a packet of information in the mail. This will include questions you need to answer about your family history, which Ashley said can be one of the most important health tools you have. You will also provide some blood samples as part of your evaluation.
For more information about Genetic Counseling or to schedule a consultation, call 740-356-7465. ... See MoreSee Less
