Staff Health Fair

The WN staff had the opportunity to be involved with the health fair on Jan. 4 at the WNMS.  There were 20 vendors, including Parkview North Labs, which drew blood to check a chem 17 panel for a small fee. There were many freebies and give aways.  Staff was given the opportunity to get free medical information from a variety of sources, including Dr. Cox, Dr. Roush, and Bea Lopez, Nurse Practitioner.  This is an annual event planned by the WN nurses, as one goal of the WN wellness committee.
