Fraser Valley Home Health, along with Shoppers Home Health Care and other local health businesses, have partnered with us to provide four hours of education on many health topics, including blood-pressure testing and heart-disease information, diabetes education, elder-abuse issues, spirometry readings and lung-health information.
Medical Alert wallet cards will be filled out by a team of nurses to provide updated health records to individuals for emergency situations; they will also answer questions about your health.
Please drop by, or if you are in the facility attending classes, make sure you stop by and check out the fair.
