"This is all about opportunity, so don't miss the opportunity to showcase your business to over 500 people in five hours at the 2018 Business and Health Fair," a Chamber news release states.
Health Screenings
The dedicated members of the Freeman Screen Team will offer a variety of low-cost health screenings from 8 a.m. to noon. They will offer individual assessments for as low as $10; this assessment includes blood pressure test, lipid panel, glucose test, weight and body fat composition, and an osteoporosis screening. There will be additional services provided for other fees. The Freeman Screen Team is comprised of compassionate registered nurses and phlebotomists who strive to serve the community. They work to provide area residents with access to preventative screenings and detection software in an effort to create healthier communities. By bringing low-cost health screenings to various locations throughout the year, they hope to help those who might not seek medical services otherwise. These screenings also allow team members to refer local residents to a physician in the event of concerning test results. For more information, contact Susan Woods at [email protected].
