Oak Hill board sets Nov. 7 health expo with mobile mammogram and blood drive
Summary
The Parks and Recreation Advisory Board set a health expo for Nov. 7 at Burns SciTech gymnasium featuring a mobile mammogram unit and a blood bus; organizers will confirm number of mammography buses and open sign-ups ahead of the event.
The Parks and Recreation Advisory Board confirmed plans at its Aug. 6 meeting for a health expo and free mammogram day on November 7 at Burns SciTech's gymnasium.
The chair told members the mobile mammogram unit will come to Burns and that a blood-drive bus has confirmed; organizers are awaiting final confirmation on how many mammogram buses can attend and expect to have sign-up links so residents can book time slots. The chair said the organizer representative is named Andrew and that the board will know whether a second mammography bus can attend after an Aug. 12 planning call.
Members proposed a tentative event window (9 a.m. to 1 p.m.) to balance capacity and convenience; one board member noted a single mobile unit can typically handle up to four patients at once and advocated for enforced sign-ups to avoid walk-in surges. The event is planned to be free for attendees; vendors may sell items but the board does not plan to charge vendor fees for this expo.
"We officially have a date, so November 7 is going to be, our health expo free mammogram day," the chair said. Organizers also discussed vendor recruitment, donated breakfast items and raffle baskets to support Parks & Rec programming.
