Runyan Will Miss Health And Wellness Fair As Debt Ceiling Crisis Lingers

With the current debt ceiling crisis, Congressman Jon Runyan will be held in DC and unable to make it to the Health and Wellness Fair at Community Hall in Forked River on Friday, July 29.

Representatives from his office will still be in attendance and have a table at the fair. The Director of Constituent Outreach will be on hand and will read a statement on Runyan’s behalf, a representative said.

The fair, which will take place from 8:30 a.m. to noon, will offer free health screenings.

“The fair is offering a variety of group health screening which are expected to include cholesterol, blood pressure, glaucoma and glucose and balance,” Mayor Gary Quinn said.

The fair, “Living Healthy,” will promote living a healthier life through health screenings as well as information on health and prevention, community and hospital resources, and patient assistance programs.

There will also be scheduled health screenings for body mass index and sleep apnea in addition to a stroke assessment.

The HealthCare Institute of New Jersey and We Work For Health sponsored the fair, which will include employees from local hospitals, health care providers, and agencies and information providers.
