VIENNA, W.Va. (WTAP) – The annual WVU Medicine Health and Wellness<\/a> Day returned to the Grand Central Mall, drawing a strong turnout of area residents eager to explore local <a href="https:\/\/lumeamara.online\/?p=4941" title="Joshua Omale: Healthcare<\/a> Never Meets a Child at the Beginning – OncoDaily”>healthcare<\/a> options<\/p>\n

More than 75 vendors and representatives from various Camden Clark departments lined the mall concourse, offering visitors an interactive look at medical services available close to home<\/p>\n

Louie Haer, director of the Camden Clark Health and Wellness Center, emphasized that the event\u2019s primary goal is to highlight the high-quality care available right in the Mid-Ohio Valley<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s very important to show what Camden Clark does for our community,\u201d Haer said. \u201cJust about every department of Camden Clark is represented, and that\u2019s important so people can see what\u2019s out there.\u201d<\/p>\n

Haer noted that the event allows residents to learn about hospital innovations without needing to travel far for treatment<\/p>\n

\u201cYou do not have to leave the Parkersburg area to get great care,\u201d Haer added. \u201cYou can come right to Camden Clark and get that care\u2014and if you need to go back, we\u2019re there for you. It\u2019s a great event.\u201d<\/p>\n

The event provided immediate community health benefits, including vouchers for low-cost lab work and free health screenings. Younger attendees also participated in interactive activities, including a teddy bear clinic and a Fit Fest dance party<\/p>\n

Haer said he hopes the annual gathering empowers individuals to take an active, daily role in their personal wellness through consistent preventative measures<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s a lot of things you can do on a personal level,\u201d Haer said. \u201cAnd that\u2019s your preventative screening, every single year… You need to check on things continually to make sure you\u2019re healthy. Doing the right things to help that\u2014eating right, sleeping right, doing your yearly blood tests and checks\u2014things like that are very important.\u201d<\/p>\n
