Wellness Programs
Today, Americans are more health-conscious, much more aware of our bodies, and considerably more knowledgeable about physical health and illness in general. At Franklin General Hospital, 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.
