The Natchitoches Parish Council on Aging (NPCOA) is hosting its annual Health Fair, benefiting older adults aged 65 and older. Older adults in the parish look forward to this event every year and can take advantage of free annual health screenings. Vision, blood pressure, hearing, and glucose are some of the on-site screenings that will take place. Attendees can also swing by and get information for themself or a loved one about legal services, home health, and Medicare open enrollment assistance. Many experts and professionals are on site to help and answer any questions you may have about your health or care or if you are a caregiver to someone 65 years or older.
“This event is designed to make health and wellness both accessible and enjoyable,” said Linda Turner, Activities Coordinator. “It’s a wonderful opportunity for seniors to take advantage of free health screenings, free resources, enjoy fun activities and connect with their friends.”
The Health Fair will take place on Monday, November 3, at the NPCOA office, located at 1016 Keyser Avenue, across from the movie theater, from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. The NPCOA is accepting vendors and participants in the medical and health sector that focus on older adult care.
