The Health On Purpose Wellness Fair happens this Friday in Independence.

 

 There will be lots of information on how to stay healthy and staff from Coffeyville Regional Medical Center will be on hand to perform a variety of lab work. Organizer Kathy Shepard says there will be a bonus for those who get there early.

 

For those getting blood work done, fasting is preferred and that means nothing to eat after midnight on Thursday night. Results will be mailed. Shepard says there will also be a variety of vendors at the Fair to provide lots of information.

 

There will also be presentations on topics such as the importance of colon cancer screening, mental health, estate planning and more. It all begins at 7am Friday morning and runs through 11:30 at the Civic Center in Independence.
