A wide range of health services and family-friendly activities will be available at a free Community Health Fair open to the public, thanks to a partnership of local and state organizations focused on wellness and veterans' support.
The health fair is Friday, June 27 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the National Guard Armory at 1111 North Severance here in Hutchinson.
The event is sponsored by the VFW, KS4Vets, the Kansas Army National Guard, the Kansas Office of Veterans Services, the Reno County Community Wellness Coalition, Hutchinson Regional Medical Center, Sunflower Health Plan, KanCare, and Healthy Blue.
Attendees will have access to a variety of basic health services, including a mobile mammogram unit, mental health resources, and general wellness screenings. Special services for veterans will also be available, offering information on benefits and support programs.
In addition to health resources, the fair will feature free haircuts and barbering, as well as a “Touch-a-Truck” activity that lets children and families get up close with emergency and service vehicles.
Organizers say the event is designed to serve everyone in the community while raising awareness about the many resources available in the region.
