HomeCare Professionals attended the Villages VMS Just for the Health Event on April 21st, 2018.

FROM THE VILLAGES:

The Villages Medical Auxiliary (VMA) will sponsor a comprehensive health fair on April 21 from 10 am to 2pm in Cribari Center. In addition to more than 50 health-based vendors, the fair will feature speakers, a variety of prizes valued at more than $800, healthy snacks, and a lot of information that will help you better manage your health. It’s all free. Save the date and plan to invite your friends and family.

Since the legalization of marijuana in California there’s been strong interest in the benefits of marijuana for problems that are particularly relevant to senior citizens—sleep issues, pain management, stress/anxiety and memory impairment. Carrie Tice, founder of Octavia Wellness in San Francisco will speak and describe the products/benefits of using marijuana products to address these issues. Other speakers will also be featured.

Vendors will be situated in booths throughout Cribari center where they’ll dispense information and samples. They represent a broad spectrum of health care—from physical therapy to assisted care. Some of our vendors have donated valuable prizes that will be raffled off throughout the day.

Several health screenings will be offered as well: blood pressure, blood glucose, mild cognitive impairment, bone density, balance and hearing. And, while you enjoy free snacks from New Seasons Market, you can hear wonderful music provided by a group of harpists that will play on the Cribari Auditorium stage. They’ll be sponsored by the Villages Music Society Harp Connection.
