Health expo emphasizes wellness activities

The emphasis will be on healthy lifestyles and entertainment during the Health, Wellness and Fitness Expo 2010 from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, March 20, at Ohio University-Chillicothe’s Shoemaker Center. The event is free and open to the public. Free health tests and screenings will be available such as cholesterol, blood sugar, fat analysis, blood pressure, Alzheimer’, bone density, dental, glaucoma and scoliosis, as well as oxygen saturation and massages. Local media celebrity Dan Ramey of “Dan & Mike in the Morning” will be the guest emcee. Andrew Davis of the Lake Erie Crushers will be the special guest. “This annual event always draws an enthusiastic crowd and offers an opportunity to provide health screenings for area residents who might not have health insurance or may be unaware of a health concern,” said OU-C staff member Kim McKimmy-Kelly, a member of OU-C’s Health and Wellness Committee. “It underscores our commitment to providing the type of programming and worksite health initiative that benefit campus and community members in a meaningful way.”
