The public is invited to attend California University of Pennsylvania’s 27th annual health fair, 11 a.m.-3 p.m. Sept. 17 in the south conference wing of the Convocation Center.
Admission is free to “Cal U Health for Life,” which is coordinated by the university’s Health and Wellness Education Center.
More than 40 healthcare experts will be on hand to discuss topics such as diabetes, nutrition and smoking cessation. Free screenings for blood pressure, glucose, speech and hearing, blood oxygen levels and balance also will be offered.
Central Blood Bank will be at the Convocation Center to conduct a blood drive.
The first 700 people to visit the health fair will receive drawstring bags, and there will be other prizes and free items available at the event.
