Fair Park Senior Center and Cumberland Medical Center will be hoisting a mini health fair on Wednesday, Sept. 29, in conjunction of Women’s Health and Fitness Day. Free health screenings will be available with physicians and health professionals available on hand to answer questions.

Linda Hassler, diabetes educator, with CMC Wellness Center, will provide glucose testing. Dee Dee Barnwell gets you rocking, as she teaches Rocking to the Oldies chair exercises.

Many people have sleep apnea problems in breathing, and may not know it. Patrick Graham, with CMC Medical Supply, will be contacting pulse oximetry screening with Cpap and Bipap education for women. This is a check with a mask to evaluate air passageways for better breathing. CMC Medical Equipment has a complete line of home medical supplies.

Blood pressure readings will be available by Cindy Cravens, with CMC Home Health. CMC’s latest expansion, the Physical Rehabilitation Unit, will be represented by Phyllis Hall. Services include physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy and sports medicine.

Larry Meads with Physical Medicine will be available to answer questions on the latest medications used in the recovery process.

Refreshments will also be available.

Between 9 a.m. and noon, flu shots will be offered to Cumberland County seniors sponsored by Walgreen Pharmacy. Bring your Medicare card (without Medicare the cost is $29.99).

Fair Park Senior Center encourages seniors to be informed, active and connected! The center is open Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. You can also visit the center’s website at http://www.fairparkseniorcenter.org to keep up-to-date on the latest programs and activities that are being offered, as well as online versions of the center’s monthly newsletter “Newsline.”

Farmer's Market opens for business June 2
The Cumberland County Farmer’s Market will officially open the growing season as it has every year since 1978. This year’s “opening” will be Saturday, June 2, at the traditional location on Livingston Rd., next to the fairgrounds. Selling will begin early (6:30 a.m. or so), although some vendors may set up a few hours later in order to provide the freshest vegetables picked just that morning. There is usually a good selection until well after noon.
