Back-to-School Health Fair: Join us Saturday, July 30th!

Plan on joining us at Swope Health Services Back-to-School Health Fair, 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday, July 30, at SHS’s Building C.

The fair, sponsored by Aetna Better Health of Missouri, features a blend of fun activities for school-age kids:

• Music, from Hot 103 Jamz
• Face painting
• Hot dogs, while supplies last, and
• Balloons and Balloon animals

SHS providers and associates will be on hand to offer back-to-school health screenings and, where possible, immunizations. (To participate, bring your ID and your child’s immunization records.)

Plus, while supplies last, kids can pick up a backpack full of school supplies. Donated by SHS associates, the backpacks contain pencils and pens, crayons, loose-leaf paper, pocket folders, notebooks and other items like glue sticks.

That’s not all! Courtesy of The Bike Shop (RevolveKC), we’ll have a drawing for refurbished bicycles. The Brain Injury Association is donating new bike helmets for kids, also part of the drawing.

The end of summer will be here before you know it! It’s never too early to start preparing for a healthy school year.  Join us!

If you can’t make it to the fair, why not make an appointment for a back-to-school check-up now? Call 816-923-5800 for an appointment.
