Hoxworth is now offering free cholesterol screening tests to all blood donors. The non-fasting total serum cholesterol level test will be part of all successful blood donations, and is intended to be a screening only. Hoxworth is offering the free tests at all blood collection sites, including the nine Greater Cincinnati neighborhood donor centers and all bloodmobile operations. Donors can obtain the results of the screening three days after the blood donation, by phone only. Hoxworth will provide each donor at the time of donation a unique ID number and phone number to call.
