Show Health Fair Coming Soon "My doctor told me I wouldn't be around next year if it hadn't been for Health Fair." That's one of many encouraging en-couraging reports about Health Fair-the community service ser-vice project dedicated to the pursuit of good health in Utah. Last year's Health Fair found that one of every five Utahns who attended had potential health abnormalities: 6,435 of the 29,759 persons examined. HEALTH Faire '83 will be held April 6-17 at 17 different sites throughout Utah. Health Fair offers the public free exams for blood pressure, height-weight ratio, and eye and dental screenings. An optional blood chemistry examination examina-tion is also offered for just $8, described by one health official as "a great savings." Originated by NHSCVO (National Health Fair Screening Screen-ing Council for Volunteer Organizations), Health Fair also calls on major sponsors to aid in carrying the message to the public. The groups responsible for Health Fair '83 in Utah are Chevron, KUTV-Channel 2, KALL9I0 AM and FM, Masonic lodges of Utah, and the state and local departments de-partments of health as well as community groups and sponsors spon-sors at each Health Fair site. Hundreds of volunteers will support this community service project by manning the 17 Health Fair sites. FOR MORE information to come about a Health Fair close to you... |
