Arrowhead Regional Medical Center Health Fair

September 26, 2008

Tomorrow, Saturday, September 27, 2008, the sixth annual Community Health and Safety Fair will be held at Arrowhead Regional Medical Center. The center is located at 400 N. Pepper Avenue in Colton. The fair will open at 10 a.m. and will be open until 2 p.m.

The best part of this fair for all attendees is that the fun, the educational demonstrations and the important health screenings are all being offered to the public free of charge.

New at the fair this year will be a mobile earthquake simulator. There will be child safety demonstrations on the use of seat belts and the dangers of leaving children in the car. There will be car accident demonstrations and instructions for the use of fire extinguishers. (I know I have a home fire extinguisher, but I certainly do not know how I would use it.)

One of the fun events will be snowboarding lessons. There will be a Zumba dance demonstration, a bounce house, raffles and free teddy bears for the first 500 children who attend with their parents.

Health screening will include: vision, blood pressure, diabetes, cholesterol, height and weight, and body mass index plus breast, skin and oral cancer screenings. If you bring your child's immunization records there will be doctors available to review them. There will be pharmacists to answer questions about medications. There will also be registered dieticians to provide nutritional information.

This annual Community Health and Safety Fair is the way Arrowhead Regional Medical center which offers state-of-the-art health care can give back to the residents of the Inland Empire.
