Hancock County Health Fair

The forecast for April 20th was 70% chance of rain, tornado warnings and thunder storms; however God had a different plan.  
The sun came shining through by 10AM, and the day was beautiful.  Not a cloud in the sky or a drop of rain to dampen the excitement of the second annual SOAR Health Fair.

The Health Fair is sponsored by SOAR, University of Southern Mississippi, United Jewish Communities, Hancock Medical Center, Hancock County Department of Health, Mississippi Nurses Association District 5, and Coastal Family Health Clinics.
 
The University of Southern Mississippi students did a phenomenal job preparing for the event.  The topics were extensively researched and well presented to the public.

Participants had the opportunity to have bone scans, glucose checking, circulation assessment, BMI and over 25 other health related topics were presented.  

Following the Health Assessments, all enjoyed a wonderfully healthy grilled chicken supper.  

Plans are already in place to repeat the event this fall. Check out our
Memories section of our Web site for more photos from the day and other events.
