Two local lab fairs provided by The University of Kansas Health System Great Bend Campus have been combined into one, but the services and affordable prices remain the same. The monthly fair is available at the Great Bend Campus. The health system’s St. Rose Medical Pavilion no longer hosts a lab fair. “We offer a comprehensive list of lab services at a greatly reduced cost,” said Raylette Schlochtermeier, lab supervisor. “This is not a for-profit service. We offer it as a convenience to the public.” “We have a great professional staff here at Great Bend Campus,” she said. “Staff members from the hospital and St. Rose Medical Pavilion have teamed up to make this event happen.” The monthly lab fairs are scheduled from 6-9 a.m. one Saturday each month. Dates for the rest of the year are Aug. 24, Sept. 28, Oct. 26, Nov. 23 and Dec. 28. No appointment is necessary.
