Third Annual Delaware County Wellness Fair

3rd Annual Wellness Fair to be held at

the Delaware County
Government Center, 201 W. Front Street, Media, PA

          An annual Delaware County Wellness
Fair to promote healthy lifestyles for everyone will be held in the Delaware
County Government Center, 201 W. Front Street, Media, PA, on Wednesday,
September 18, 2013 from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.

          The Delaware County Women’s Commission
(“DCWC”) and the Friends of the DCWC, together with the Delaware County
Department of Intercommunity Health and the Delaware County Council, welcome
representatives of local hospitals and County agencies to address the health
care concerns and needs of everyone in Delaware County.  This all-inclusive event is being coordinated

by Crozer-Keystone Health System (CHKS).

          “Our goal is
to provide everyone with current and comprehensive health and wellness
information and to provide them with an opportunity to get some of the
screenings that are key to prevention,” said Delaware County Councilwoman
Colleen Morrone, Council’s liaison to the Department of Intercommunity Health.

          “The first
two years, we held a Women’s Wellness
Fair to reach out to women who tend to put the health needs of their family
members before their own, but we heard from several men that they wanted to participate

to. So this year’s Wellness Fair is open to everyone,” Mrs. Morrone said.

          The Wellness Fair provides
opportunities for blood pressure screening, fitness and nutrition tips, stroke
risk assessment, osteoporosis heel scans, Cancer & Health Line services,
Center of Diabetes and preventive health tips. 

          The 2013 participants include Delaware
County Department of Intercommunity Health, Crozer-Keystone Community Health

Education, Delaware County Tobacco Free Coalition, Crozer-Keystone Medical

Imaging, CKHS Volunteer Services, CKHS ER3, ChesPenn Health Center, Women
Against Rape, Domestic Abuse Project, Women’s Resource Center, Pathways PA,
CKHS Cancer & Health Line Services, Mercy Fitzgerald Hospital, Main Line
Health System/Riddle Hospital, CKHS Women 
& Children’s Health, Overeaters Anonymous,  Health Care Solutions of Delaware Valley,

         “We encourage men and women of all ages
to come and visit the Wellness Fair to discover new ways to care for yourself,
find time for yourself and manage your physical well-being,” said Women’s
Commission Chair Theresa M. Agostinelli.
