November 2, 2024Free Health Fair in Homer on Saturday Nov. 2
The 41st annual Rotary Health Fair is Saturday, November 2 from 9:00am-1:00pm in a new location, the Christian Community Church on Bartlett Street in Homer. “It’s Your Life … Take a Day to be Well” is the theme of the fair, sponsored by Homer Kachemak Bay Rotary Club in cooperation with South Peninsula Hospital.
This free one-day event provides the community a chance to learn about local health services and up-to-date information on relevant health topics. Over 40 exhibitors will be under one roof offering various health screenings, demonstrations and services. Some of the offerings are free flu shots, blood pressure checks, vision tests, diabetes risk assessment, chair massage and more.
In addition to the new location, another new attraction is the ability for exhibitors to sell health related products at their booth. Exhibitors will address subjects ranging from sleep medicine, pet safety, senior services and tobacco education, to medication assisted treatment for addiction, biofield tuning and bio-modulation therapy.
Individuals who had advance blood draws in October as part of the fair can pick up blood test results at that time. Food and specialty coffee vendors will be part of the fair. Children under ten years old can exchange their Halloween candy for great prizes at the Great Candy Exchange.
For more information on this event, contact the health fair hotline at 399-3158 or visit www.rotaryhealthfair.org.
