Henry and Stark County Health Departments’ “12 Communities in 12 Months” Outreach Event

The Henry and Stark County Health Departments and First Choice Healthcare Clinics are taking their “12 Communities, 12 Months” outreach to the Stark County Junior Fair in Wyoming on Friday, July 24th. The event runs from 10 AM to 2 PM in the Concessions Building. Residents can safely dispose of expired or unused home medications, receive free blood pressure checks, pick up health information, and take part in giveaways. A Get Covered Illinois Insurance Navigator will also be available.

RaeAnn Tucker, Director of Health Promotion with the Health Department said, “We believe this is going to be a wonderful event as there will be something for everyone interested in getting some great information, taking advantage of free screenings, giveaways, and just partaking in a pleasant time visiting and talking with our staff.  The Department and First Choice Healthcare are happy to have this year-long opportunity to showcase the many programs and services available to our area residents and families.”
