Wondering about your blood pressure? Concerned about your smoking or your body fat? Need more fitness in your life?

Get some valuable information at the annual College Health Fair next Thursday, May 17, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Old Chapel.

Sponsored by Health Services and the Wellness Committee, the fair is an opportunity to meet with area health and wellness representatives. Among those on hand will be AIDS Council of Northeastern New York, American Cancer Society, Capital District Chiropractic, the Center for Sports Medicine, STOP DWI and yoga instructor Sigrid Kellenter. Also learn about allergies, AIDS, eating disorders and smoking cessation programs.

Union’s nurse practitioners will offer tips on women’s health, and volunteers from the Union College Emergency Medical Services (UCEMS) will check blood pressure. There will be more than 20 vendors in all, plenty of advice and many raffles and giveaways, too.

 In addition, watch for the Medivac Helicopter Landing at noon, coordinated by UCEMS (May 14 – 18 is EMT Week).
