Quest Diagnostics and Blood Work Samples

Rich Beckermeyer November 5, 2018

In 2017, I was at a free health clinic that offered medical, dental and optical appointments to patients who had limited health insurance in downtown Los Angeles. I wrote about the experience here.

In the medical area nurses drew blood for further testing and that’s when I noticed the variety of the tops of the blood sample caps. The rhythm of the circles and the colored tops were really interesting at the time. Quest Diagnostics graciously donated all the processing and analysis at their laboratories in the immediate LA area during the three day clinic.

Have you ever donated blood or had your blood tested? How was the experience for you?

The Importance of Consistancy

Rich Beckermeyer February 12, 2014

I've been meeting some great people at Fleet Feet Sacramento on J Street. Tuesday nights means a fun run to McKinley park and back. I've been going for about a month now. I'm not fast, yet. But its good to be motivated by other people who are prioritizing their health.

 

Fitness didn't become a priority to me until October of 2011. That month, and subsequently since, I have participated in several races and training regimes to push, and in some people's eyes, punish myself. Hiking as been a fun activity to take up again. And with so many options to choose from in and around the Central Valley here in California, who can I blame for not getting out and enjoying nature.
