The Annual Health Fair at Pocahontas Memorial Hospital is an event that hospital employees and community members alike look forward to each spring. Held on Friday, May 8th, over 250 people attended this year’s Health Fair.Ashley Pritt welcomes visitors to the PMH Health Fair

The Health Fair at PMH is a true celebration of our community, offering not only discounted lab work, but food, door prizes, community organization and health related exhibits, free heel bone density and facial scans, eye screenings sponsored by the Lions Club, and hearing screenings. This year, PMH was fortunate enough to have not one, but two, helicopter landings with both HealthNet Aeromedical and Air-Evac flying in to offer “tours” of their in-air emergency rooms. Pocahontas Memorial Hospital wants to thank all of the participants, exhibitors, volunteers, and staff for helping make the day such a success.

While the Annual PMH Health Fair happens just once a year, community health fairs will continue to be held throughout the county until June. Please see our separate ad in this week’s paper for times and locations near you!
