Health, at one time or another, becomes a major
interest in our lives. “Our bodies are fearfully
and wonderfully made” is more than a quote; it
is a truth we discover as we live our lives.
Occasionally, one can get a step ahead of health
issues by learning about them and taking a few
proactive measures. Boundary Community Hospital
is providing a Health Fair for Boundary County
residents to come and learn about health issues.
“We are all in the same boat, “ says Marcia
Morman, Boundary Community Hospital’s Community
Relations Coordinator, “we all live in bodies.
Outside of the medical profession, most of us
have not had extensive training in health.
Picking up a few pointers about health care may
end up making a huge difference in our life or
in the life of someone we care about."
The Health Fair is Saturday, May 18 from 9 to
noon. There is no admission fee. There will be
50 booths at the fair, including the Med-Star
helicopter and the MRI machine that can be
examined close up. For the kids, the Bike Rodeo
has helmet fitting instructions and a free
helmet (up to 50 will be given away) from
Boundary Community Hospital, and a bike tune-up
by Far North Outfitters. Parents need to
accompany their children.
The Fun Run is free and includes three races: a
3, 5, and 10K. Modifications made to the 10K
course ensure variety throughout the route.
Registration starts at 7 a.m. and the races
begin at 8 a.m. Pre-register by emailing
marcia.m@bcch.org and requesting a
registration form, or by filling in a
registration form at the Outpatient Desk at
Boundary Community Hospital.
The first 60 people who register receive a free
t-shirt. There is a FAQs sheet posted on
http://www.boundaryhospital.org/, which
gives quite a bit of information about the
races.
