The Community Health Institute at Chattanooga State will host the 7th Annual Health, Fun, and Wellness Expo Friday, May 2, from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. in the Health Science Center, located on the Amnicola campus.
The large, comprehensive health fair is open to the public, and will offer numerous free health screenings and exhibits from area health professionals and wellness-related organizations.
Parking is free and easily accessible. Presenting partners include CVS Pharmacy, Walgreen’s, Hamilton County Sherriff’s Department, SETDD, Chattem, Tennessee Partners for Health, Blush Magazine, Blood Assurance, and Chattanooga State’s Community Health Institute.
In addition, the Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office will conduct Operation Medicine Cabinet, a drug take back program where the public may turn in unwanted medications for proper disposal to help keep medications out of the hands of children and the water supply. Those wishing to turn in medications can simply drive through the drop off circle without having to leave their vehicle. Pharmacists will also be available to answer questions.
Chattanooga State will also sponsor a blood drive to honor the son of a former student who was injured in a serious motorcycle accident last month.
