Many members of the
pharmacy school envisioned a day in which we could serve the
community with an event that promoted healthy living and activity.
This event has become known as the March on Health Wellness Fair and
5K. On this day, we celebrate those individuals who take the first steps
in training for a 5K race. We celebrate those who are willing to make a
change in their current lifestyle in hopes of maintaining or
restoring good-health. We want members of our community to take an active
role in caring for their health and we stand with them to encourage this
change.
Our 3rd Annual March
on Health event will be held in Clinton on March 21, 2015. This event will involve
a 5K race, run or walk, at Bailey Stadium-Presbyterian College. Shortly
following the race, an extensive health fair focusing on health and wellness
will be held at the YMCA- Clinton, from 10am-2pm. Here, trained pharmacy
students will be available to provide FREE health screenings for
everyone. There will also be educational sessions available from guest
speakers and our trained pharmacists, as well as FREE healthy food options.
As part of this
event, due to the desperate need for blood, we also plan to hold a blood drive.
The Blood Connection bus can only come if we have a large enough number of
participants. Please indicate via the Survey Monkey link below, if you would be
willing to donate.
