The services will be provided by MedStar Sports Medicine, which staffs the Horsemen’s Health System, and Adventist HealthCare LifeWork Strategies.

A massage therapist from LifeWork Strategies will be available on a first-come, first-served basis only for those who have blood drawn for testing. A seating is not guaranteed.

Please note that 10-hour fasting is required for cholesterol tests. All bloodwork results are confidential and will be sent to the address that you provide. The Laurel track kitchen will provide hamburgers and hot dogs to those who participate in the Health Fair.
