Beebe Announces Health Screenings and Educational Opportunities at Upcoming Frankford Health Fair

Beebe Healthcare welcomes the community to its annual Frankford Health Fair on Saturday, Oct. 14, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at 7 Main Street in Frankford. Registration is not required, there is no cost to attend, and a complimentary lunch will be provided for all attendees.

Representatives from Beebe’s Community Outreach Team will be onsite at the health fair to provide free flu shots and free health screenings. Free screenings include:

• Vision
• Blood sugar (diabetes)
• Cholesterol
• Blood pressure
• Body Mass Index (BMI)
• Bone density

Additional Beebe team members and valued community partners will be onsite to offer educational materials on stroke, heart failure, diabetes, home care services, physical therapy services, overdose prevention resources, insurance programs, and much more.

From 11 a.m. to noon, event attendees can listen to a special presentation: “Would you be able to recognize and react to stroke?” This informative presentation will be provided by Thomas Trobiano, DNP, APRM, FNP-C, MAPC, Executive Director of Cardiovascular and Neuroscience Services at Beebe. It is designed to help the public understand the signs and symptoms associated with stroke, and how important it is to act quickly, by calling 911, if and when symptoms are present.

“We are proud to sponsor the Frankford Health Fair every year and appreciate the commitment by our Beebe teams and community partners in making healthcare and social care resources available to the communities we serve,” said Bill Chasanov, DO, Chief Health Systems Design Officer at Beebe Healthcare. “These events allow us to put valuable information into the hands of our community, so they know how to take better care of themselves and can access local healthcare services when needed.”
