The health fair will offer free or low-cost health screenings as well as health education and information.

Those who participate in the blood chemistry analysis must remember to fast for 12 hours prior to coming to the health fair. Regular medications may be taken, and beverages such as water, plain coffee or tea can be consumed. The cost this year for the blood test will be $28. Colorectal cancer screening kits are also available for $2.

The bone density screening requires participants to make an appointment and pay for the screening at the screening booth. Appointments need to be made for the peripheral arterial disease or leg alert screening as well.

Other screenings this year will include sleep apnea for both children and adults. Respiratory therapists will be on hand to do the screening and provide additional information on sleep health and sleep medicine.

New this year will be a self-assessment for mental wellness. Participants can pick up a questionnaire to complete, and if they have questions, there will be a mental health practitioner available.

Intervent, an online assessment of an individual's cardiac risk factors, will also be available again this year. People wanting this screening are asked to bring their most recent cholesterol and blood sugar numbers. There will be no charge for this assessment.

Height, weight, vision, hearing, lung function and an oral cancer screening will be offered at no cost. Children and adults can have a photo ID made, also at no cost.

Visitors can also take advantage of educational booths that will be set up providing information about services for senior citizens, diabetes education, stroke awareness and mental health, to name a few topics.

The fair is sponsored by Central Community College, Mary Lanning Memorial Hospital, Good Samaritan Village, the National Association of Insurance and Financial Advisors and South Heartland District Health Department.

Registration for the health screenings will be available at the door.
