“We are also offering a limited number of Lipids (cholesterol HDL, LDL) and/or Vitamin D screenings, 12 hours fasting recommended for good results. Participants must call 573-883-7791 to register by Thursday, February 25,” stated Poston.
There will be lots of hospital departments showing the variety of services available at the hospital including a careers table for anyone seeking employment.
“Most all of our departments will participate so women can learn how SGCMH services can empower them to lead a healthy lifestyle. Cardiac Rehab, Respiratory Therapy, Diagnostic Imaging, Surgery, Food and Nutrition and even Patient Portal,” said Poston. “It’s a great way to get to know the hospital, and all of the resources we offer to the community.”
“We’ll even have a little pampering with massage therapists, beauty tips and boutiques,” said Poston. “There’s even an opportunity to get lunch with our famous hero chicken salad.”
Poston said another reason women love coming to the fair is for the giveaways.
“We’ll have plenty of those,” she said. “Everyone attending will receive a super hero giveaway at the door; there will be a door prize drawing at each speaker presentation for those attending as well as our vendor giveaways. The grand prize will be a relaxing weekend stay fit for a super hero to the Herman Hill Winery in Hermann, MO.”
Throw in a photo booth, delicious treats that makes a fun-filled morning and early afternoon at the hospital that women have been enjoying for the past 26 years.
“We hope women come out and enjoy themselves, do and see lots of things, and most of all leave inspired and empowered,” said Poston.
