Join us on Saturday, Nov. 7, 2009
from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.
at Rockland District High School
for our ever-popular and well-attended
Community Health & Safety Fair.
Special note: The annual Community Health and Safety Fair will include a special influenza education panel discussion and question & answer session. Pen Bay flu experts, including the chief infectious disease specialist at PBMC and a representative of the Maine CDC will be participating. The panels are scheduled for 10 a.m. and noon and will leave plenty of time for questions and answers.
Scheduled participants include Cheryl Liechty, MPH, MD, infectious disease specialist at Penobscot Bay Medical Center; Anne Little, RN, CIS, Infection Preventionist for PBH; Jennifer Gunderman-King, MPH, Midcoast District Public Health Liaison, Maine Center for Disease Control and Prevention and Maine Department of Health and Human Services.
Please note: There will be no flu shot clinic at this year's fair due to lack of seasonal and H1N1 vaccine.
Last year, more than 800 community members attended the free event. Over fifty exhibitors offered live demonstrations, free health screenings, family activities and much more.
Staff from all members of the Pen Bay Healthcare family of services were joined by physicians and other community wellness groups and organizations to share their knowledge and expertise with attendees on a wide range of health and wellness topics. This year’s event promises to be even more successful. So save the date and plan to come to the fair that will help you and your family remain well for another year. 
This year's fair will include a variety of activities including:
Police safety tips and free gun locks
Car sear safety checks
Activities for kids and young families
Healthy lifestyle information on yogo, massage, homeopathic methods and more
Demonstrations of healthy cooking
Cholesterol, blood pressure, hearing screening and much more!

The Pen Bay Healthcare family of services believes that the scope of the free services and educational activities being offered at this year’s fair make it a valuable contribution to the health of the midcoast community. We hope you will attend.
