Gearing up for the Health Fair

March 12, 2014 |
A whole lot of folks, and not just those at the
hospital, are gearing up for this year's
Boundary Community Hospital Health Fair, taking
place on Saturday, May 10, and offering more
events and activities than ever.
While it's still a bit early, the list of those
hosting educational booths or offering free
diagnostic tests is growing almost daily. In
addition to the health tests performed right
there, such as blood pressure and cholesterol,
there will also be booths offering coupons for
many free tests of a more specialized nature.
There will also be three free fun runs to
participate in; 3K, 5K and 10K. Registration for
the runs begins at 7 a.m. in front of the
Boundary Community Clinics, right across the
street from the hospital's main entrance, and
runners will be taking off at 8 a.m.
The first 60 runners to register will go home
with a free commemorative T-shirt.
As always, this year's Health Fair will include
a bike rodeo, also in the lot in front of
Boundary Community Clinics, to teach young
riders the rules of the road and give important
tips so that rides can be safe and fun.
Kids are encouraged to bring their bicycles for
a free safety inspection and tune-up, and the
first 50 participants who don't have one will
recieve a free new bike helmet.
Those intersted in taking part in this year's
Boundary Community Hospital Health Fair can
