Mark your calendars for Tuesday, May 20, because the James C. Kennedy Wellness Center in Charleston is once again opening its doors for a day filled with wellness, knowledge and community!
From 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., everyone is invited to take part in the center’s annual Health Fair — an uplifting, informative event that offers over $300 worth of free health services, empowering fairgoers to take charge of their health in a meaningful way. Door prizes will be given to selected participants for coming!
This year’s fair brings together more than 30 vendors, each ready to share insights, resources and support to help participants and their family to live healthier lives. But what really sets this event apart are the free health screenings that attendees can access — tools that can make all the difference when it comes to prevention and early detection.
Here is a snapshot of what is available at no cost:
• Comprehensive lab work
• Vitamin D testing — key for bone, immune and mental health
• Lipid panels and glucose testing, essential for managing cholesterol and blood sugar
• Blood pressure and A1c screenings — powerful tools for catching issues early and managing chronic conditions like hypertension and diabetes
Whether you’re already managing your health closely or simply curious about your current wellness status, these screenings offer a convenient, no-pressure way to check in and take action.
In addition to the screenings, the fair is a fantastic opportunity to connect with local health care providers, learn about services available right here in our community, and discover tips and tools to support lifelong wellness.
The health fair also offers a chance to mingle with neighbors and enjoy the positive energy of people coming together with a shared goal: better health for all.
Everyone — young adults, seniors, families and individuals alike — is welcome.
Stop by the center at 188 Honeysuckle Dr., Charleston, to get screenings, ask questions, meet local experts, and enjoy a day dedicated to you and your well-being.
Don’t miss out, as this is a moment to invest in your health, for free, and with full support of your community.

Let’s build a healthier Tallahatchie County together.
