The Senior Health Fair is designed to help and encourage seniors to live the healthiest lives possible.
“It’s important to engage the public in conversations about common health issues that affect our senior population,” said Courtney McFarlin, a Physician Assistant at OSF Saint Anthony’s Health Center. “Health care can sometimes seem overwhelming, and having information, screenings and sounding boards under one roof, at one event, can bridge the gap between the public and providers.”
OSF HealthCare will provide information and/or screenings for:
- Balance
- Sleep
- Joint pain
- Brain health
- Blood pressure
- Stroke prevention
- Heart disease
- Smoking cessation
- 3D mammography/breast cancer screenings
- Skin cancer
- OSF OnCall
- OSF PromptCare
- Home Health Care
- Hospice services
- Diabetes
Lunch will be available. Any proceeds from the Senior Health Fair will benefit the Walk to End Alzheimer’s.
