State Representatives Norine Hammond, Randy Frese, and C.D. Davidsmeyer, along with State Senators Jil Tracy and Neil Anderson, are collaborating with The Kroc Center to organize a Senior Adult Health Fair in Quincy on October 15. This event aims to provide seniors with access to wellness resources and information.
The health fair will take place from 9:00 a.m. to noon at The Kroc Center located at 405 Vermont Street. Attendees can expect free admission, refreshments, and wellness screenings.
Senator Tracy emphasized the convenience of the event for seniors: “Mark your calendars! The Senior Adult Health Fair helps residents gather useful information, meet with local wellness providers, check out local businesses, as well as visit with friends who are also attending this great event.”
Senator Anderson highlighted the importance of such fairs: “Hosting these events across our communities gives our seniors the opportunity to visit with vendors and healthcare professionals under one roof. Senior Fairs are incredibly important in providing access to critical social services and resources our older community can greatly benefit from.”
Representative Frese expressed enthusiasm about partnering again for the fall event: “The Kroc Center is a wonderful venue and a great partner in bringing free screenings and other services to Quincy-area seniors. We’re very happy to be teaming up again for a fall Senior Health Fair on October 15.”
Educational materials will be available from local vendors, healthcare agencies, businesses, and government representatives. Representative Hammond stated: “I am excited to partner with my colleagues and the Kroc Center to provide area seniors with screenings and information from many local vendors on how to maintain a healthy lifestyle.”
Representative Davidsmeyer noted the significance of being accessible to constituents amid economic challenges: “It’s important that my colleagues and I are available to share with our constituents the many services that are available to them, especially with all of the inflationary pressures on everyday goods and energy on those who are on fixed incomes.”
