Health Fair a Success

By Jasmine Delane
The Health Fair, which was held on Oct. 12, brought health awareness to the students of West Virginia University at Parkersburg. Individuals who attended were able to receive free glucose tests, STD tests, and even got condoms to help promote safe sex.

If an individual wanted to, they could even give blood to help save lives. There were nursing booths from different area hospitals and West Virginia colleges, and even a display with pig lungs that showed the difference between healthy lungs and a smoker’s lungs. Many people got their eyes tested and even got their blood pressure taken. It was a great time to learn how to better your health.
