“Healthy aging is about more than living longer — it’s about living better,” said Rami Nelson, chief quality and health equity officer for North Oaks Health System. “This fair will give members of our community the chance to access expert advice, practical tools and supportive resources to thrive at any age.”
Throughout the morning, participants will hear from expert speakers, including North Oaks Case Management Director Jason Lindsey, pharmacist Jamie Covington, geriatrician Dr. Abir Abdo, and physical therapists Brad Michelli and Ana Penton.
Topics of discussion will range from medication management and mobility to mental wellness and what matters most in aging well. Free health screenings for blood pressure, diabetes risk, heart health and fall prevention will be offered to help attendees take proactive steps toward better well-being.
Community vendors also are set to take part in the health fair.
