The annual AMBA blood screening sponsored by the Watkins-Montour Rotary Club is still accepting registrations. The blood screening event will be on November 2nd from 6-10 a.m. at the Clute Park Community Center in Watkins Glen.

The blood analysis by Quest Diagnostics includes tests for coronary, kidney, and liver diseases and anemia. Quest Diagnostics charges $59, which includes a $15 specimen collection cost.

The AMBA event is a major fundraiser for the service club, and Rotarians will ask at the event for an additional $5 fee. Funds raised go to support many projects in the Schuyler County community.

Appointments are required. To schedule an appointment, call (800) 234-8888 Monday through Friday, from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m.

A personal physician’s name and address will be requested when registering. A photo identification will be required at check-in at the screening.

For information about tests for Prostate Specific Antigen, TSH, Vitamin D, and Hemoglobin A1C or a colon rectal kit, also call (800) 234-8888. Each carries an additional cost and must be ordered by a doctor.
