IF YOU HAD THE SCREENINGS IN THE PAST 2 YEARS YOU ARE NOT ELIGIBLE TO SCHEDULE ONE FOR MAY 2025.    2024 No-Shows will not be eligible for screenings in 2025.

As a result of our continued commitment to the Health and Wellness of our members of the Health PLan (not dependents), Local 22 Health Plan is hosting an Ultrasound Screening Mondays to Fridays starting Monday, May 5th, 2025, to Friday, May 23rd, 2025 from 7:00 AM to 3:00 PM.

United Diagnostic Services will be conducting Early Detection Diagnostic Testing, which has proven successful in identifying actionable pathologies to improve overall health as well as early detection for cancer and cardiovascular issues. Early detection has had a significant impact on helping prevent and reverse potential future catastrophic events.  All tests are ultrasound-based and therefore painless. 

All tests are ultrasound based and therefore painless, and non-invasive. Tests include an Echocardiogram, Carotid, Abdominal Aorta, Thyroid, Liver, Spleen, Bladder, Kidney, and Testicular. This screen also includes an Exterior Pelvic scan for females. The examination will take approximately 30 min to complete.

The screenings will be scheduled from Monday 5/6/2024 through Friday 5/24/2024 from 7:00 AM to 3:00 PM

Fasting for at least 8 hours is required for the screening and you must pre-register to participate. Individuals are allowed to drink water during this period. About 1 1/2 hour prior to appointment time, start to drink 32 ounces of water so bladder is full at the start of the exam. Results will be issued via email 7 to 10 business days after testing. Be sure to use the email & phone number you’d like to receive updates when registering.

Pre-registration is required. To schedule your appointment:
