Appointments are required and can be made by calling the Public Health Nurses at 201-460-3020 between the hours of 9 a.m. and 4 p.m., Monday through Friday.

There will be a nominal fee of $21.00 which will cover the cost of the laboratory analysis. Other screenings can be added at additional cost.

Those participants with test results outside the normal range will be required to follow up with their Licensed Medical doctor.

The Health Center is located at 184 Park Ave.
