Annual event will promote healthy living

Published:

A total of 55 businesses and organizations have signed up to present ways for people to improve their wellbeing during the Wellness for a Lifespan Health Fair at Chadron State College on Thursday, Jan. 19.

 People may visit the fair at any time between 3 p.m. and 7 p.m. in the Student Center. The annual event, which is open to the public free of charge, is cosponsored by Chadron Community Hospital and Health Services, and the Chadron Lifespan Wellness Team.

Shellie Johns, CSC coordinator of conferencing, said the exhibitors will present information targeted to all ages. She said the event will highlight a wide array of traditional health subjects, as well as others that people may not think about. Topics include blood testing, demonstrations by chiropractors and massage therapists, and even a display by the U.S. Forest Service to show many of the area’s trails that can be used for fitness activities.

While the fair is free, Johns noted that some services offered by the exhibitors, such as the blood testing, require payment.
