Here is a press report from our 1st Annual Ortonville Health and Safety Event in Sept 2012.

Partnering with local healthcare businesses, we recently conducted a Health Expo in September 2012. "This is a free event," said Nena Woodall, M-15 Urgent Care office manager. "If you're not up on your health it's a great way to start. Today it's a struggle for a lot of families given the state of the economy and the cost of health care. The expo will provide a host of screenings and information as a way to assist individuals to get on a track to good health."

In partnership with McLaren Oakland and United Healthcare, the M-15 Urgent Care organized the first annual Health Expo 2012. The event featured health screenings including blood pressure, total cholesterol and glucose, body mass index, osteoporosis screening, pulmonary function testing, foot screening, hearing testing, vision testing, chiropractic screening and stroke risk assessment. Safety activities included the poison display game, the water safety challenge, fatal vision goggles, free smoke alarms along with free bike helmets to the first 100 children. Car seat inspections were also provided.

"We are also seeking other area businesses to participate in the expo by donating monetarily," she said. "The funds will help provide children activities such as gift cards, products or services to be given away for raffles." 

"We welcome the community to join us for the event," she said.
