POMEROY – Where else but at the annual health fair of the Faith Community Nursing Health Ministry, a branch of the Meigs Cooperative Parish, could you get a variety of health tests for free.

The health fair was held Saturday at the Mulberry Community Center under sponsorship of the Parish with grant money from the St. Joseph Charitable Fund.

Free health screenings and health information were provided during the event planned by Lenora Leifheit RN-BC Parish Nurse.

Holzer Community Wellness was there to do fasting blood glucose and cholesterol, the Meigs County Health Department to take body mass index measurements, and the Family Home Health Care representative to take blood pressures.

Other agencies there with information on services were the Meigs County Extension Office with a nutrition display, the Area Agency on Aging 8, the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Awareness Program, and Family Healthcare, Inc.
