FARMINGTON — Franklin Memorial Hospital welcomed more than 60 Franklin County Chamber of Commerce members to its business-after-hours health fair June 21.
The Healthy Community Coalition had its Mobile Health Unit near the hospital’s main entrance, where visitors dropped in to have a body composition analysis performed.
Inside were healthy snack samples with recipes, work site wellness information, staff from the Let’s Go Small Steps Program with a sugar display, assistance with advance directives and a NorthStar training demonstration. There was also prescription assistance, a medication jeopardy game and a spinning health quiz. Refreshments included fruit-infused water and a buffet of fruits, vegetables and hearty appetizers.
Rebecca Wood, FMH vice president of patient care services and chief nursing officer, took 15 people on an informative tour of the Maternal and Child Health Unit and the Surgical Services Unit.
The Auxiliary’s gift shop provided a door prize to Robert Lively of Wilton.
