The Nassau County Council on Aging and Baptist Health have joined
forces once again to host the Third Annual Senior Expo and Health Fair on Friday, August 14th at the Atlantic Avenue Recreation Center, 2500 Atlantic Avenue in Fernandina Beach.
The event will bring together some 40 state and local organizations, from the Social Security Administration to Medicare,who will present a wide range of health and welfare information vital to Nassau County residents. The goal of the expo is to educate and enlighten seniors and the general public so they have tools for living a longer, healthier life.
Health tests and screenings for cholesterol,blood pressure, bone density and glucose levels will also be offered at the Expo free of charge. In addition, the Speech and Hearing Clinic of Jacksonville will be set up in a separate room of the Rec Center auditorium to conduct free hearing tests for those in attendance.
The Senior Expo and Health Fair will begin at 9 a.m. and run until 2 p.m. While the information offered is geared toward seniors, residents of all ages are sure to find information of value to them. And, anyone caring for a loved one suffering from chronic illness, dementia or other health issues will have access to valuable resources for themselves and those they are assisting.
The public is invited to attend this free event. For more information about the Senior Expo and Health Fair or to request a free ticket to the event, contact the Nassau County Council on Aging at 904.261.0701.
just got back from working our AARP and Seniors versus Crime table at the COA Expo Health show at the Rec Center. It was a great job done by the Council and the 40 plus groups participating. Our hats off to those who did the planning and successful event. The attendance was great and many people found something of interest for themselves. Thanks again to the COA!
