The mission of this event is to provide our community with education and information on many aspects of living a healthy lifestyle. Health education and health professionals will be on hand and several health screenings will be available. There will be healthy living demonstrations and many activities for the whole family throughout the day.
The event will host several FREE health screenings for cholesterol, glucose, vision, blood pressure and more. Cholesterol and A1C/Glucose screenings start at 9:00 a.m. and require a 12-hour fasting period. A donation of $10 is appreciated, but not required. Pre-registration is NOT required.
Health information and interactive displays on heart risk factors, body mass index (BMI), stroke awareness, healthy eating, diabetes, cancer, and much more will be available. Vendors will also include many other non-profit organizations and private businesses that provide services related to healthy living.
For sports fans, NFL Kicker Justin Tucker will be signing autographs from 10:00 am until 11:45 am. Community members are invited to bring a sports item for Mr. Tucker to sign; merchandise will NOT be sold at the event. In order to give everyone a chance to meet Mr. Tucker, autographs will be limited to one person. Make sure to get in line early for your autograph!
