The Henry and Stark County Health Departments, in partnership with First Choice Healthcare Clinics, invite the public to a special outreach display at the Henry County Fair in Cambridge. Visit the Merchants Building on June 17th or 18th between 2 and 4 PM for free blood pressure checks, safe disposal of expired or unused medications, insurance information from a Get Covered Illinois Navigator, and health resources. There will also be giveaways for attendees.

RaeAnn Tucker, Director of Health Promotion with the Health Department notes, “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.”
