Today, Americans are more health-conscious, much more aware of our bodies, and considerably more knowledgeable about physical health and illness in general. MercyOne New Hampton is now offering a new program, where an individual can come to the laboratory and receive wellness screens without a physician’s written order.

Wellness Laboratory Tests allow the public to manage their health and health concerns. This is not to take place of medical care; it is a quick, easy and inexpensive way for people to receive laboratory testing from our limited menu of Wellness Tests.
