The Whittier Rehabilitation Hospital in Westboro is hosting
its free annual community Health and Wellness Fair on September 19, 2012, at 11
a.m. to 2 p.m.in the afternoon, as part of its observation of the National Rehabilitaion
Week.
The annual event was first held in 1998 and this year the
event will again offer free health screenings such as blood pressure, hearing
and bone density screanings.

in the fair at noon. She will be presenting the “Lumbar Spinal Stenosis” – a disease

problem with focus on non-surgical options.
The event includes lunch and a chance to win one of the door
prizes. For more information and reservations, call (508) 870-2000, ext. 2134.
