AARP Health Fair

Blacksburg, Virginia - VCOM students provided the local community with basic healthcare checks and information at the 2018 Health and Wellness Fair sponsored by AARP. At the Christiansburg Recreation Center, attendees were able to have their blood pressure and glucose levels checked and were provided with health-related information. Students also performed osteopathic manual manipulation (OMM) for those interested.

Exhibitors from around the area, including the New River Valley, Roanoke, Salem, Floyd, and others, were on hand to help visitors explore ways to stay healthy, feel healthy, and age well. Attendees had the opportunity to receive their flu shot and learn about new immunizations.
