Blood Testing

The Health Department will conduct a SMAC Blood Testing Program for ROSELAND RESIDENTS 18 years or older on Saturday, September 17, 2022 from 8:00 am to 10:00 am at the Thomas Rinaldi Center, 5th Street, East Hanover, NJ 07936. 

SMAC is a comprehensive blood test that analyzes more than 20 components including total cholesterol, LDL, triglycerides, glucose and a CBC (Complete Blood Count.)  The Health Department's nursing staff will provide blood pressure screening and health education will also be available. 

To participate in the Clinic, you must call (973) 888-6035 Monday through Friday, 8:30 am - 4:30 pm for an appointment. For all participants who select the SMAC there is a fee of $22.00, and for those who select the SMAC plus the PSA screening there is a fee of $40.00. In addition to the SMAC test, the PSA (Prostatic Specific Antigen) blood test will also be available for men age 50 and older, or for those 40 and older that have added risk factors. 

Those at risk include African American men as well as men with a family history of cancer. The fee for the PSA  test alone is $25.00. Appointments are available on a first come - first serve basis. 

Fasting is required for the SMAC Blood Test; that is, no food or drink, except for water for 12 hours prior to the test. If you are taking medication you may continue to do so.
