Western Illinois lawmakers, The Kroc Center to offer senior adult health fair Tuesday in Quincy

QUINCY – State senators Jil Tracy of Quincy and Neil Anderson of Andalusia, and state representatives Randy Frese of Paloma, Norine Hammond of Macomb and C.D. Davidsmeyer of Murrayville are partnering with The Kroc Center to host a free senior adult health fair from 9 a.m. to noon Tuesday, Oct. 15 at the Kroc Center, 405 Vermont.

In a press release, Tracy said, “The Senior Adult Health Fair helps residents gather useful information, meet with local wellness providers, check out local businesses and visit with friends who are also attending this event. We serve the senior community better by giving them access in one convenient location to the information and services they need.”

The senior adult health fair will feature free admission, free refreshments and free wellness screenings. Attendees will have access to educational materials provided by local vendors, healthcare agencies and businesses, as well as representatives from local and state government agencies.

“Hosting these events across our communities gives our seniors the opportunity to visit with vendors and healthcare professionals under one roof,” Sen. Anderson said. “Senior fairs are incredibly important in providing access to critical social services and resources our older community can greatly benefit from.”

“The Kroc Center is a wonderful venue and a great partner in bringing free screenings and other services to Quincy-area seniors. We’re very happy to be teaming up again,” Frese said. “This is a great way to take care of your health, save some money and have some fun.”
