FARMINGTON — Franklin Memorial Hospital plans to host a fall resource fair, a free family oriented educational event, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 7, in the Bass Room and on the hospital campus.
Festivities include a children’s play area with face painting, lawn games, storybook reading, ambulance tours, health screenings and free flu shots. WKTJ at 99.3 FM will be broadcasting live and interviewing key participants from 10 a.m. to noon, according to a news release from the hospital.
Several community agencies also plan to be present including United Way, Spruce Mountain Adult Education, Senior Planning Center, Western Maine Transportation Services, and Healthy Community Coalition, among others.
“We will also have medical students from the University of New England onsite to help out and experience what rural medicine is like,” said Jolene Luce, director of Western Maine AHEC.
There will be giveaways, raffle prizes and seasonal refreshments.
The Western Maine Area Health Education Center is hosted by FMH and supported by a grant from the Health Resources and Services Administration.
