Preschool Screening Tests

April 1981

Historical April 1981 health-screening notice. Procedures, prices, eligibility and contact information refer to that period and are not current medical-service guidance.

Beginning April 9, 1981 on five consecutive Thursdays and Fridays with the exception of Good Friday, four nursing students from St. Louis University, Mary Spangler; Tom Pacatte, Jane Izmirlian and Cindy Bibik, will be doing screening tests on preschoolers from Neighborhood, Grace Methodist and Jubilee schools.

The procedures will include those for hearing losses, vision difficulties, height and weight discrepancies, anemia, abnormal lead levels, and developmental lags.

All the tests are done free of charge with the support and follow-up of the staff of People’s Clinic.

For those parents or guardians who wish to have these tests done and whose children do not go to any of the three schools, the students will be at People’s Clinic to do testing during the Health Fair Day, April 8, 1981.
