Kinney at the New York State Fair!
The 2008 Kinney Hall of Health located at the Science and
Industry building attracted thousands of fairgoers to our booth
and over 927,871 people attended the NY State fair. Once
again our theme revolved around building on our health care
image in the Central New York market.
Fairgoers had the opportunity to take part in several health
screenings that included: blood pressure, comprehensive
heart health, diabetes, women’s health, bone density, tobacco
cessation, sleep health, fall/risk assessment, dementia, and
osteoporosis. Going hand in hand with the screenings were
informational brochures on disease education, prevention and
care. We also offered information to fairgoers on various
health care resources such as support groups, programs
and services, caring for the elderly, and the importance of
preventive health care. Over 20 of our partnering health
care agencies were on board with us throughout the week
to provide free screenings and information to fairgoers.
In addition to the health screenings, fairgoers had the
opportunity to talk with Kinney representatives about
Kinney pharmacy services such as free Rx delivery, life
vial, easy prescription transfer, flavor Rx, and the many
locations of Kinney Drugs. The Kinney Drugs Foundation
was also on board for a day to explain their program and
hand out goodies! Thank you to all Kinney employees
who participated in the day to day logistics of the NY
State Fair; your time and energy is appreciated!
