Wellness is in the air in Clinton.

AllianceHealth Clinton’s Community Health Fair will be Thursday, November 7 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the hospital’s Weichel Center.

“We’re offering a range of tests, health checks and other services to promote a healthier community,” said hospital CEO Landon Hise.

These include a flu shot clinic open to anyone age 18 and older, and no appointment is necessary. The best way to avoid getting the flu is to have an annual flu vaccination, whether the flu shot or nasal-spray flu vaccine. The flu virus changes every year, so last year’s vaccine won’t protect you. Vaccines will be available at the health fair while supplies last.

Representatives from Sinor EMS and Air Evac will be on hand with membership information.

Attendees can also get help with Medicare Part D Enrollment, plus blood pressure/blood sugar checks will be available, along with information about the risks of falling at home.

The public will also have the opportunity to learn about Do Not Resuscitate Orders and Advance Directives.

Attendees can also learn about the Hospital Auxiliary Phillips Lifeline Program.

“AllianceHealth Clinton is dedicated to offering a full range of services to improve community health and wellness,” Hise said. “The health fair is just one of the ways that we do this.”
