Columbia Gears Up for Veterans Day Health Fair

Hey Columbia! Mark your calendars because tomorrow, November 7, is a day devoted to honoring our heroes with the Veterans Day Health Fair and Vaccine Clinic, taking place at the Dorn VA Medical Center. If you’re a veteran, employee, or just a supportive community member, you won’t want to miss this exciting event! It’s all about promoting health and wellness, and there’s something for everyone!

What’s Happening at the Fair?

From 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., the doors will be open to showcase a whopping 40 different services aimed at health education and wellness support. Not only will you have access to vital information, but there will also be various vaccine clinics for your seasonal immunizations. It’s the perfect chance to ensure you stay healthy as we dive into the colder months.

But that’s not all, folks! The health fair promises a fun atmosphere complete with giveaways for attendees, making it a great place to pick up some goodies. You’ll also get to enjoy some live music and check out a number of informational booths. These booths will be filled with resources detailing the health services available to you and your loved ones. It is truly a wonderful opportunity to gather some knowledge while having a little fun!

Why is This Important?

This event is vital for veterans and VA staff alike as it bridges the gap between them and essential health services. Often, veterans might not be aware of the resources at their disposal. This fair is designed to create connections, ensuring that everyone knows where to turn for healthcare support. It’s like a one-stop shop for health!
