LIVINGSTON HEALTH DEPARTMENT
HOSTS FALL 2009 HEALTH FAIR
The Livingston Health Department invites its residents to the Fourteenth Annual Health Fair on Saturday, September 26 from 8:30 am - 12:00 pm. We are excited to hold the event at our easily accessible Senior/Community Center at 204 Hillside Avenue on the lower level, main entrance.
Joining us that morning will be a variety of medical professionals and other guests in related fields for free screenings, health education and information. Harvest Home Caterers of Livingston will be a guest this year with presentations on healthy eating, and, back by popular demand, are members of the Essex county “4H Seeing Eye Puppy Project,” a training program for puppies that may advance to becoming service dogs for the Morristown Seeing Eye.
Free screenings offered: Vision, Hearing, Dental, Chiropractor, Podiatry, Skin Cancer, and Blood Pressures. Exercise tips, rehabilitation information, home care assistance, theories on alternative medicine, will be available for review.
Students from Seton Hall University School of Nursing will again join us that morning to share interactive projects on healthy living. Other health professionals, along with various Livingston Township Departments will be present to share information on community services.
We will partner with Medical Laboratory of West Orange to offer a variety of blood screenings at very reasonable prices. These tests will include: a comprehensive Health Profile, Lyme, PSA, T3, T4, Hepatitis B surface antigens, Homocystein and CPR (cardiac screens) and Blood type with Rh factor. The registration forms for the blood work will be available at Town Hall and the Health Department at the Community Center.
Our goal, as always, is to encourage a healthy lifestyle by providing the most current health education and information for our residents. The screenings provide early detection of health problems and disease prevention. If you have any questions or wish further information, call us at the Nursing Division (973) 535-7961 @ EX. 226, 227, or 228. Looking forward to seeing you at the Fair!
