The Spring Blood Clinic is scheduled for Saturday, May 6 from 6:30-10:00am and we're pleased to have the Lima Memorial Health System phlebotomists providing the blood draws for the event.
 
From Bob Ruehl:
What don’t you know about your current health?  Feeling good? Surprises come when we least expect them, especially when we feel good. The value of the blood clinic is not in one test.  The value is in overtime our bodies change. When we are young we do not need insurance so we think. We seem indestructible and prove it by
Working many hours with little sleep.  Our energy is great until we crash. Speaking from personal experience I have had few sick days during my life. Two years ago I returned from a trip to review a project with the Tarharuma Indians, in the Sierra Madre of Mexico. I didn’t feel well.  Going to the doctor was right after one of our blood clinics.
The results from the blood clinic were with the doctor.  He made a quick read of the results and saw the changes from previous Blood clinics. The next day I was with a specialist who ordered a scan, and two days later I had my cancer removed. I was told that if I had waited as one usually does when you don’t feel well that the progression of the disease would have precluded a normal life. Building a medical history for your doctor and for you is a significant step to a long life.  Besides supporting your Rotary Club with the $35.00 you spend, you get to build a medical history for yourself. Please be there on May 6th.  We will have some cookies and a donut for you.
