Attention, everyone!
Members of Health Services in Tumbler Ridge are working on organizing a Community Health Week, an event dedicated to promoting health and well-being for all. “Join us for a period filled with valuable resources, health screenings, expert talks, and activities aimed at creating awareness about various health conditions and the support available to you,” says Dr. Ifeanyichukwu “Ife” Akanegbu.
The Health Fair is going to be held in rooms four and five at the Tumbler Ridge Community Centre and will take place October 2–6.
Dr. Ife says things are still being organized, but at the Health Fair, you will have the opportunity for free health screenings: blood pressure checks, glucose tests, BMI assessments, and more.
There will also be expert talks and workshops. “Learn from doctors, nutritionists, mental health professionals, and wellness coaches about managing conditions such as diabetes, dental care, hypertension, mental health, cancer prevention, and more,” says Dr. Ife.
And finally, there will be information booths, where you can discover local resources, clinics, and support groups available to assist you with your health journey.
“Whether you’re looking to learn more about a specific health condition, seek guidance on improving your overall wellness, or simply enjoy a day of community, this event is for everyone,” says Dr. Ife. “Let’s come together to support each other in leading healthier, happier lives.”
There is no cost to attend the heath fair. All ages are welcome. “Bring your family, friends, and neighbors to take part in this life-enriching event,” he says. “Your Health Matters! Let’s take steps together to a healthier future. See you there!”
