Stephens Memorial Hospital to host annual Health Fair on Saturday, Oct. 17
Featuring the theme “Flashback to ’51,” Stephens Memorial Hospital will host its annual Stephens County Health Fair on Saturday, Oct. 17, from 7 to 11 a.m. at First Baptist Church, 301 S. Rose St.
The Health Fair will feature a variety of vendors, as well as door prizes, other giveaways, and free lab tests.
The lab tests, sponsored by Stephens Memorial Hospital, will include glucose, BUN, creatinine, sodium, potassium, CO2 chloride, cholesterol, LDL, CBC, Hgb A1C and PSA (for men over 40). Anyone planning to have the free lab test should not eat or drink after midnight (Friday night/Saturday morning) with the exception of water, plain coffee or plain tea (no sugar, sweetener or cream, etc.).
Entry to the health fair, which will be held in the FBC Family Life Center, and most activities are free.
The theme is in honor of the hospital’s 75th anniversary this year. Stephens Memorial Hospital opened in 1951 with 22 beds – eight private rooms and seven semi-private rooms. It included a reception area and waiting room, a nursery for newborns, and the patient rooms located on two corridors. Additionally, there were rooms for operations, x-rays and other specialty needs, as well as a kitchen and a nurses’ lounge.
