Sinclair Community College will host a health fair on campus early next month to celebrate life and healthiness.
The purpose of the health fair is to aid individuals in the community and raise awareness to living a healthier lifestyle, Wanda Jelus, a nursing professor at Sinclair said. The health fair will include a variety of free services, including vision tests, hearing tests, HIV tests and more. Free mammograms are also available, but appointments are required.
“It’s amazing, it’s a crazy day,” she said. “We have about 50 students who volunteer every time.”
Jelus hopes that students realize how many programs are available to help them live a healthier lifestyle.
The fair will be hosted by the Levin Family Foundation. Since 1996, the Levin Family Foundation has provided funding to increase the quality of life of individuals the Dayton are.
Every attendee gets a free healthy meal and a chance to win prizes. There will be family entertainment and live music for all ages.
The health fair will be held on Saturday, April 5 from 10 a.m. until 3 p.m. and will take place in the Pointz Center in Building 12. Tickets are free, but need to be ordered beforehand. To get tickets, call 937-223-5433 or go to celebratinglifeandhealth.org. They are also available in Building 12, Room 101.
