South Augusta residents enjoy community day out and health fair
AUGUSTA, Ga. (WFXG) –
On Saturday, Faith Outreach Church hosted a Community Day Out and Health Fair.
The free event returned once again to educate the South Augusta community on health and spirituality.
“The objective of this is to empower our community to help people know God is concerned about not only our spirituality, but every aspect of your life,” Senior Pastor Richard Peoples says.
Activities included games, prizes and fun for kids.
Piedmont even offered free screening for cholesterol, blood pressure, breast and prostate health, along with education on way to take care of your body.
Dr. Mac Bowman, Director of Cardiovascular Practices with Piedmont Healthcare says making the adjustments to take care of your cardiovascular health is valuable early on, which is why education on good habits are so important.
“The more information that we can put out there so that those who have not revealed themselves do before there is a need for an immediate cardiovascular intervention,” Dr. Bowman says.
