Despite some windy weather, the health fair had a great turnout, providing important health information, vaccinations and screenings to more than 300 caregivers and community members. Vendors conducted more than 160 health screenings, including blood pressure, glucose screenings, foot screenings, sickle cell testing and body fat analysis. Guests were also invited to enjoy taste testing and healthy cooking demonstrations.
“The mission of St. Vincent Charity Medical Center is to care for the community, and the Celebration of Wellness was a way for us to raise awareness about healthy eating and active living in a fun celebration,” said Leslie Andrews, RN, Director of the Diabetes Education Program and chair of the event.
In addition to health information, the Celebration featured many family friendly activities. The back lawn of the medical center’s campus was host to the Walk for Wellness, pumpkin decorating, raffle drawings and children’s contests.
