9Health Fair wants to help you live a healthier life by making health screenings easily accessible. Medical professionals volunteer their time to do the free and low-cost screenings at fairs across the state.
We live in a digital age with technology all around us. Use technology to your advantage by tracking your health. There are more than 100,000 health apps available for download. They can help you monitor your diet, exercise, sleep and countless other things. Wearable devices like pedometers and FitBits record your activity and encourage you to move more. 9Health Fair lists their favorite apps in the new wellness resource, 9Health Ready: www.9healthready.org.
The Community College of Aurora 9Health Fair offers a unique program today. AARP is hosting a free workshop: “Called to Companion: Caregiving is a universal concern.” Everyone will either serve as a caregiver at some point in their life or need care. The program helps people figure out what is the best way to provide care, whether to do it themselves or share the responsibility with friends, family or professionals. The program starts at 9:30 a.m.
More than 115 9Health Fairs are scheduled for this spring. You can find all them at www.9healthfair.org/findafair.
