County Health and Wellness Fair scheduled for September 20
LĪHU‘E – The public is invited to attend the County of Kaua‘i’s Health and Wellness Fair
sponsored by Life’s Choices Kaua‘i with the Office of the Mayor and the Kaua‘i Committee on
the Status of W omen.
The event will be held from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Wednesday, Sept. 20, at the Kaua‘i War
Memorial Convention Hall and is being held in recognition of National Recovery Month and
Women’s Health Month.
“Every year, hundreds of people attend our Health and Wellness Fair to learn how to
improve their health and well-being,” said Life’s Choices Kaua‘i Coordinator Theresa Koki. “The
fair not only gives people access to dozens of organizations aimed at helping them to improve
their lives, but it also offers programs that are designed to motivate employees or clients to lead
healthier lifestyles and can help to reduce healthcare costs.”
Information about services for people of all ages will be available at the fair. Services
include health and wellness programs, financial planning, domestic violence and suicide
prevention, alcohol and drug prevention, emergency prevention and preparedness and more.
In addition, there will be free blood pressure screenings, hands-on CPR demonstrations,
and flu shots will also be administered.
