Health Update: Coshocton health, safety and wellness expo to offer free screenings March 14 – What Experts Say

Annual event offers free screenings and safety resources at Coshocton Community Room

For more than 15 years, the annual Health, Safety and
Wellness Expo has brought the community together to learn about and promote
healthy lifestyles, preventive care and safety. This year the expo will be
held from 8 a.m. to noon Saturday, March 14 at the Coshocton Community Room
on Chestnut Street. The expo is free to attend.

Attendees will have the opportunity to meet local
health professionals, wellness experts, first responders and nonprofit
organizations. There also will be vendors whose products and services directly
affect health and safety. Preventive screenings also will be available.

“This lifesaving event has saved countless community
members’ lives over the past decade and a half. We look forward to this event
each and every year, as we know that health and safety are top priorities,
whether it’s a young family to an elderly person,” said Amy Crown, executive director
of the Coshocton County Chamber of Commerce. “When we see early detection
screenings catch serious conditions or families learn critical safety
information that could protect their children or aging parents, it reminds us
why this event matters so much. It’s not just an expo; it’s an investment in
the well-being of our entire community.”

This year the expo is co-sponsored by the chamber of commerce
and the Coshocton Regional Medical Center. This partnership reflects a shared
mission of strengthening Coshocton County by supporting both the economic
vitality and the personal well-being of its residents.

The expo has provided blood pressure checks,
cholesterol screenings, glucose testing, CPR education, and resources on fall
prevention, mental health and many other needed topics. Families are encouraged
to attend together.

The chamber of commerce and CRMC are committed to
ensuring access to vital information and services. By bringing together trusted local partners and dozens of vendors, this event continues to strengthen the health and safety of the
community.
