CHI Memorial Community Health – Hixson is hosting a community health fair this Thursday, from 9 a.m. – noon. The event will increase the awareness about the resources available at this office, including referrals to many social services agencies in the area. Several of those agencies will be on site providing information about the services they offer.
“Everyone should know about the great services and programs that can help them on the journey toward a healthy life,” says Erricka Hill, LMSW and practice manager, CHI Memorial Community Health – Chattanooga and Hixson. “Some people don’t know help is available. Others don’t have transportation to get the help they need. By bringing these services and agencies together in one convenient location, we hope to remove some of the barriers people have to getting the health care they need.”
The community health fair will have information and enrollment assistance for insurance through Medicare, Medicaid and the health care exchange. Screenings and education sessions include glaucoma, heel bone density, stroke awareness, diabetes education and nutrition counseling.
This event is free and open to the public. There will be information about good health, door prizes, food, games and more!.
