Spring Health & Resource Fair and Drug Take-Back Event
The annual spring health fair will return to the Senior Center this year with LEARN Idaho as our event partner, so mark your calendar for April 16 from 10:30 a.m. to 12 p.m. and plan to join us for this free event.
LEARN (Lifelong Education and Aging Resource Network) Idaho provides free education for older adults, family caregivers, and the professionals who serve them. Their mission is to help people navigate the joys and challenges of aging and caregiving.
Health fair vendors this year include assisted living centers, caregiving agencies, finance professionals, health care providers, hospice, insurance, legal services, and more. Each vendor is offering a door prize, so be sure to stop at every booth to be entered into all of the drawings. This year’s event sponsor is Bowman Funeral Home.
The Boise Police Department will be onsite with a drug take-back booth where attendees can safely and conveniently dispose of unwanted prescription and over-the-counter medications. We will also host a vaccine clinic by Albertsons pharmacy. Vaccines will include Covid, shingles, pneumonia, tetanus, and RSV.
Please call in advance if you would like a vaccine, 208-608-7580. We will need your full name and date of birth. Please bring your medical insurance card(s) to the vaccine clinic. If you would like to complete required paperwork ahead of time, you can pick up a copy at the front desk.
