Topics concerning senior-related health were on the docket at a community Health Fair co-sponsored by Epworth Manor and Pathways of Bon-Secours Holy Family Medical Hospital yesterday at Epworth\u2019s new building on Washington Avenue.
\nAccording to Epworth staffer Andrea Young, the event gave an opportunity for residents of the Manor and members of the community and interact and discuss health-related issues. It also allowed an opportunity for area vendors and medical services providers to display their wares, offer services and discussed problems and solutions.
\n\u201cThis is our first event and we\u2019re enjoying what we\u2019re seeing so far,\u201d said Young during the first hour of the 120-minute event. \u201cIf this is something that\u2019s going to show there\u2019s enough interest, we\u2019re hoping to do more fairs like this one.\u201d
\nA conference room was lined with booths from some recognizable organizations, including the Alzheimer\u2019s Disease Association and Neighborhood Care Pharmacy. Some stations offered information on stress management, at others, visitors could receive a relaxing message.
\n\u201cWe wanted a good variety of vendors to offer information,\u201d said Young, \u201cand we\u2019re glad to see that the people are taking an interest in each of the booths. These are important issues for these people and any information they can take from this will only be positive.
\nThe most visited booths weren\u2019t really booths at all. In fact, they were tables.
\n\u201cWe have a lot of different, but fun stuff,\u201d said Melissa McHugh CTRS, Pathways representative, as she stood next to Epworth\u2019s Activities Director of Personal Care Barbara McCloskey at the leisure table.
\nBut adjacent lied the refreshment table, which included punch, cookies, snacks, veggies and dip and, again..cookies.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
