CMC Health Fair April 24
At last year's Health Fair, Ben Jacobsen explained X-rays to visitors. Many departments will be on hand once again to answer questions.
The CMC Health Fair returns at the end of next week to provide a convenient and friendly way for patients and prospective patients to get information about hospital services, and meet some of the people who provide them. If you attended last year’s Health Fair at Tigert Middle School, you probably have an idea of what to expect, though there will be some changes this year.
As a result of last year’s turnout, a larger venue has been selected – the Caribou County Event Center in Grace, just down the street from the location of the new Grace Clinic. The Clinic itself is wrapping up its construction process, and will begin outfitting and finalizing the facility for use by sometime in the summer. More details when they become available.
One thing that will remain the same this year is the 7:00 a.m. start time. The event will officially run from 7 a.m. to 12:00 noon.
During that time, there will be a wide range of activities for visitors to partake in, from games and trivia to prizes and treats. Most important of all, of course, will be the chance to meet and interact with the expert providers of many of CMC’s service lines.
The Health Fair, sponsored by Caribou Medical center as a way to provide health information and resources to the community, gave a number of service providers from the hospital itself a chance to meet with clients and members of the community. It also provided a central location for a number of other health-related organizations and agencies to tell people about their services.
In addition to CMC, last year’s Health Fair also included SEICAA, WIC, Southeastern Idaho Public Health, Enhabit Home Care, Symbii, Mountain View Dental, Bayer, the Soda Springs Library, Portneuf Medical, SSPD, and many others.
The Health Fair is open to the public, and the Event Center should be an ideal location for it.
