Health Fair planned in Gentry

Wednesday, September 15, 2010

— Gentry Medical Center will be holding a free informational health fair from 5 to 7 p.m. on Tuesday, Sept. 21, at the Medical Center facility.

The physicians and staff will be on hand to answer medical and insurance related questions. Refreshments will also be served.

Some items featured at the health fair will include blood pressure checks, bone density screenings, cholesteral screenings, body mass index comparisons, spironetery, weight information and disease management. Free packets of health-related materials will also be available.

This is the first such health fair for the clinic and there is hope that other health- and safety related agencies such as the police and fire departments, the Gentry Senior Activity Center and others might join together and make an annual health fair an even bigger event in Gentry in the years to come.

The Gentry Medical Center is located at 643 E. Third Street (Arkansas Highway 12) in Gentry, or two blocks east of the Arkansas 12 and 59 intersection in Gentry.

For more information, call the center at 736-2213.
