Senior Expo & Health Fair
The Senior Expo and Health Fair will be Wednesday, May 15, 2024, from 9 a.m. to noon in the Donald Shook Student Center. This free event will feature many local vendors.
The purpose of the event is to provide information to adults 55 years old and over, promote health awareness through education and prevention, and to provide information about available programs and services in our area.
Area seniors, who are 55 and older, can receive free health screenings, listen to speakers on various topics and win prizes. The event is in the College’s gym. Elevator and shuttle services from parking lots to the building will be available for our patrons.
