YOU'RE INVITED TO A HEALTHY LIFE

     On Thursday, January 17th, beginning at 9 a.m. and lasting until 3 p.m., we will open our doors to our very first Health and Wellness Fair here at our library.
     Co-sponsored by the Moultrie-Colquitt County Library and Chiropractic Solutions from Thomasville, we're inviting you to our Health and Wellness Fair with the hopes that you will be encouraged to engage in a more healthly lifestyle.
     We invite you to join us with questions regarding your health, wellbeing, and community resources.  Medical and community health professionals from Moultrie, Thomasville, Tifton, and Tallahassee will be present to provide useful information related to health and wellness, as well as provide many health checks.
     Stations will be set up in the library auditorium where you can obtain information about:

• Colquitt Regional Medical Center's Home Health, Hospice, Life Line, and Rehab Center.  They will be giving body mass index checks and glucose screenings, along with many informational handouts.
• The University of Georgia Extension Office will have nutritionists present to help you with dietary questions and needs.
• An ear-nose-throat professional from Dr. Joseph Berger's office will be present to give hearing checks.

• A physician will be present from Eye Savers, Tallahassee and Thomasville, to give eye checks.
• Health professionals from Dr. Todd Trebony's Internal Medicine and Weight Loss Center will be available to give blood pressure and body mass index checks, and...

     In the adult reading area of the library:

• A health professional from the Colquitt County Health Department will be available to discuss health information and services by the health department.
• A member of the Alzheimer Association, the Southwest Georgia Regional Office in Tifton, will be on hand with information about their services, and
• A health professional from the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) will provide information about their services.

     The Southeastern Community Blood Center from Thomasville will have its blood donor bus parked in front of the library.  Donors are asked to register ahead of time at the library's front desk.  You must be 18 and weigh at least 110 pounds to donate blood.  They are giving prizes and some of them are BIG.
     So, join us tomorrow at our Health and Wellness Fair and put your health first!
