The community is invited to the Tuolumne County Health Fair, happening Saturday, October 26 from 7 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Mother Lode Fairgrounds.
The Health Fair committee is excited to be back this year in a new
format that’s geared toward engaging the community in wellness activities and providing connections to vital health resources.
This year’s Health Fair will be formatted around exhibits about common health and wellness concerns, including access to care, mental health and addiction, preventing and managing health conditions, physical fitness, eating well, and more. Numerous community organizations will staff those exhibits and guide attendees toward the resources they need.
Free health screenings will be offered for the duration of the event, from 7 a.m. to 2 p.m. Planned screenings include:
• Skin checks
• Foot exams
• Oral health
• Bone density
• Vision
• Hearing
• Pulmonary function
• Pulse oximetry
• Blood pressure
• Body fat
• Height and weight
• Balance
Flu shots will also be given from 7 a.m. to 2 p.m.
From 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., there will also be live cooking demonstrations provided by Blue Zones Project Tuolumne County, drop-in fitness classes, free car seat safety checks and a prescription drug take-back station.
As part of the Health Fair’s new format, low-cost lab draws will not be available on-site. However, lab draw vouchers will be available for purchase to use at Adventist Health Sonora’s outpatient labs. The vouchers will cost $50, plus $10 for an optional prostate-specific antigen (PSA) test, and the vouchers
will be good for three months from the date of the Health Fair.
