March 20, 2011
Spring is just around the corner here in Lincoln County, and that can only mean one thing – it’s time for the St. John’s "Road to Health" Health Fair! Mark your calendars for Saturday April 2nd, and make sure to be at the Memorial Center between 9:30am and 1:00pm to enjoy this annual health and wellness extravaganza.
The St. John’s "Road to Health" Health Fair celebrates health and wellness with the community by bringing together a wealth of information. Among the booths and fair exhibits will be wellness related displays and activities including a sun screen advocating Tiki Hut brought to you by the SJLH Nursing Department, fun-filled activities to get your mind and body working by the SJLH Rehabilitative Services Department, and many more fun and educational activities and booths for your family’s enjoyment. And as always, attendance has its benefits in the form of free give-a-ways which include a few high ticket items such as Vitamin D Screenings and a Disaster Back Pack complete with 188 items.
Discounted screening vouches will be available for those who missed the pre-fair screenings. Tests include total cholesterol (LIPIS), glucose, glycohemoglobin (A1C), anemia, prostate (PSA), and thyroid (TSH). Once again, local medical providers will be on hand to answer questions concerning the pre-fair health screening results and other health concerns.
"The Health Fair is designed to provide people of all ages with information about a wide variety of health and wellness topics and resources in our community, all in a fun, fair-like atmosphere," commented Susan Horelick, Wellness Manager at St. John’s. "Once again this year, to help offset the cost of bringing bone density testing here, there will be a minimal $5.00 charge, and results will be sent directly to your physician."
