Blood Testing Heizer, Kansas
A blood test performed in Heizer, KS is a laboratory analysis performed on a blood sample that is usually extracted from a vein in the arm using a hypodermic needle, or via fingerprick. Multiple tests for specific blood components, such as a glucose test or a cholesterol test, are often grouped together into one test panel called a blood panel or blood work. Blood tests are often used in health care to determine physiological and biochemical states, such as disease, mineral content, pharmaceutical drug effectiveness, and organ function. Typical clinical blood panels include a basic metabolic panel or a complete blood count. Blood tests are also used in drug tests to detect drug abuse.
A basic metabolic panel measures sodium, potassium, chloride, bicarbonate, blood urea nitrogen (BUN), magnesium, creatinine, glucose, and sometimes calcium. Tests that focus on cholesterol levels can determine LDL and HDL cholesterol levels, as well as triglyceride levels.
Some tests, such as those that measure glucose or a lipid profile, require fasting (or no food consumption) eight to twelve hours prior to the drawing of the blood sample.
For the majority of tests, blood is usually obtained from the patient's vein. Other specialized tests, such as the arterial blood gas test, require blood extracted from an artery. Blood gas analysis of arterial blood is primarily used to monitor carbon dioxide and oxygen levels related to pulmonary function, but is also used to measure blood pH and bicarbonate levels for certain metabolic conditions.[While the regular glucose test is taken at a certain point in time, the glucose tolerance test involves repeated testing to determine the rate at which glucose is processed by the body.

The CLIA laboratory certification program is administered by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) in conjunction with the FDA and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

STD Testing Heizer, Kansas
Our local Heizer, Kansas STD testing centers provide multiple STD tests for individuals who may have been exposed to or showing symptoms of an STD. Millions of Americans have some form of an STD and our testing is provided in a confidential manner. STD tests may be ordered for one specific type of test or you may order a multiple panel test which includes several STD tests. STD stands for Sexually Transmitted Disease, also known as STI or Sexually Transmitted Infection, meaning that these diseases are most often, but not exclusively, spread by sexual intercourse.
STDs are passed from one person to another through sexual activity which can include vaginal intercourse, anal intercourse and/or anal intercourse. Though not as common, STDs can also be transmitted through intimate physical contact such as heavy petting.
STDs do not always cause symptoms, or they may only cause mild symptoms. This makes it very possible to have an infection and not know it. Therefore, if you are sexually active it is important to get tested at least once a year.

Heizer, also called Heizerton, is an unincorporated community in Barton County, Kansas, United States.
Heizer was created in the 1880s primarily out of the need for an additional railway stop Northwest of the city of Great Bend, Kansas. The Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway was in the process of building lines heading out to the Southwest after Colonel Cyrus K. Holliday gained charter to the company in 1859 and gained land grants through Kansas and Texas. The railroad that was built through Great Bend was one such line. The town was named after David N, Heizer, one of the founders of Barton County and the former Mayor or Great Bend who once owned the land that Heizer was built on. For several decades the small frontier settlement boomed with the height of the railroads in Kansas. At one point the town had over 100 residents. It was at this point that most of the businesses were established in the town. However, time passed and life on the Kansas plains grew more difficult, particularly with the onset of the Great Depression in the 1930s and the Dust Bowl, which hit the area particularly hard. People began to leave Kansas in the 20th century just as quickly as they had come in the 19th. Like many towns in the area, Heizer suffered a severe population decrease that continues to this day. Heizer is currently estimated to have approximately 20 residents.
At its peak, the town of Heizer had numerous places of business that were owned and operated in the town. They included: Train Depot (seen here in its prime), blacksmith, hotel, stockyard, lumberyard, church, school, several grain elevators, general stores, hardware store, Heizer Creamery Co, bank established in 1911. Many of these businesses can be seen in the 1902 map here. None of these businesses are in operation today. Only a few of the original buildings still exist, and most are condemned.
In 1887, Barton County opened contract bids for four iron bridges within the county. The Walnut Creek Bridge, to be constructed 0.5 mi. North and 0.5 mi. West of Heizer, was given to C.R. Lane of Topeka, Kansas. Lane was the manager of Topeka's office of the Lane Bridge and Iron Works, a company which provided a variety of metalworking services throughout the Midwest. The company was given $3,700 for the contract, which is equivalent to about $92,204.69 today. The Walnut Creek Bridge "is a pin connected Pratt through truss" which spans 115' long and 16' wide with a wood deck 21' above Walnut Creek. The bridge is unique due to the fact that it is constructed of wrought-iron, which is no longer used in bridge construction with steel being preferable. Additionally, of all Pratt through truss bridges, the Walnut Creek Bridge is the only one known to be constructed by P.E. Lane, who worked for the Lane Bridge and Iron Works company. The bridge was completed in 1887, meaning that horses and wagons were the first vehicles to use the bridge, although eventually it carried cars.
