The Bureau County Farm Bureau is gearing up for a vital health screening event slated for August 16th, 2024.

This initiative, costing $100 for members, aims to foster preventative health care in the community. Due to the limited availability, interested participants are urged to secure their spots promptly. Additional tests can be conducted for an extra fee. Results from the screening will be dispatched by mail within three weeks, with options for follow-up consultations available to discuss any concerns. Be sure to book your appointment soon to take advantage of this essential health service.
