Health fair coming to Covenant on April 19

Covenant Fellowship Church is sponsoring their annual free-to-the-public health fair April 19 at the church.

Free screenings by area health practitioners will be provided. Some of them include: skin and oral cancer screening, hypertension, bone density and diabetes testing.

Information will be made available on community services regarding assisted living, home health care, developmental disabilities, pregancy/birth, insurance, veterans affairs, exercise, healthy eating and more.

Health fair organizer Cindy Crutchfield said, ‘Response to the event has been tremendous, and we have some wonderful exhibitors. We just want to provide this service to the community to put them in touch with what is available.’

Dr. Michael Questell, a new physician in our area, will be available to meet and greet attendees, as well as Dr. Bryan Chastain. Representatives will be available from Honeycutt Dental in Manchester, NHC Healthcare, Pacesetters and officials explaining Medicare Part D.

A breakfast, made possible by the Celebrate Recovery Support Group, and lunch, provided by Covenant Academy, will be available for guests to purchase. Numerous door prizes will be given out during the fair, which will be held from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. The church is located on Hwy. 55 South, and everyone is invited to attend.
