As a result of our continued commitment to the health and wellness of our members, Southeastern Kentucky Firefighters Association/Kentucky Fire Commission will be partnering with United Diagnostic Services to host a health screening event on October 3rd - 4th, 2026 at our SKFA Fire School.

This event will take place at:
KCTCS Somerset Community College -
Laurel Campus, Bldg. 1
100 University Dr
London, Ky 40741

For firefighters this screening is reimbursed $325 by the Kentucky Fire Commission leaving the participant paying $10 out of pocket. Representatives from the Kentucky Fire Commission will also be on site to help facilitate the reimbursement process.

UDS will be conducting early detection diagnostic testing, which has proven successful in identifying actionable pathologies to improve overall health as well as early detection for cancer and cardiovascular issues. Early detection has had a significant impact on helping prevent and reverse potential future catastrophic events.

All tests are ultrasound based and therefore painless and non-invasive. Tests include an Echocardiogram, Carotid, Abdominal Aorta, Thyroid, Liver, Spleen, Gallbladder, Bladder, Kidney, and Testicular scan. This screening also includes an Exterior Pelvic scan for females. The examination will take approximately 30 min to complete.

Fasting for at least 8 hours is required for the screening and you must pre-register to participate. Individuals are allowed to drink water during this period. About 1 ½ hours prior to appointment time, start to drink 32 ounces of water so bladder is full at the start of the exam. Be sure to use the email & phone number you'd like to receive updates when registering.
