The event is open to the public and will offer complementary health services and health and wellness-related information including, but not limited to, the following:
• Oxygen screenings and healthy vs. unhealthy lung display by the WVU Medicine Children’s’ Transport Team,
• Blood pressure and nutritional screenings by Project Reach,
• Point-of-care testing, blood sugar testing and blood pressure readings along with informational sessions by the American Pharmacists Association Academy of Student Pharmacists.
The 2-Mile Community Health Walk/Kids’ Fun Run will begin at 3:30 p.m.
Inclement weather location is inside the Student Rec Center.
The Expo is supported by the Minorities Association of Pre-Healthcare Students, WVU Medicine, WVU Health Sciences Center, WVU APhA-ASP, Alpha Kappa Alpha, WVU Council for Gender Equity and the NASA WV Space Grant Consortium in addition to several other campus and community partners.
