College of The <strong>Albemarle</strong>: Upcoming Wellness Fair<br />

Elizabeth City, NC – College of The <strong>Albemarle</strong> (COA) will hold<br />

its ninth annual Wellness Fair on Thursday, <strong>November</strong> 7 and<br />

Wednesday, <strong>November</strong> 13 in AE and A Buildings on the Elizabeth<br />

City Campus. The fair will be held from 9:30 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. on<br />

both dates and is free and open to the public, students, faculty<br />

and staff. Children are also welcome to attend if accompanied by<br />

a parent.<br />

The Wellness Fair allows second year Associate Degree Nursing<br />

(ADN) and Medical Assisting students the opportunity to practice<br />

and share what they have learned thus far in their courses. The<br />

fair also includes many community partners that offer resources<br />

to attendees including free flu shots, through Sentara <strong>Albemarle</strong><br />

Medical Center and <strong>Albemarle</strong> Regional Health Services (in<br />

conjunction with the <strong>Albemarle</strong> Regional Health Department), free<br />

blood pressure, and free dental screenings through East Carolina<br />

University Dental. This year, over 20 healthcare partners and<br />

community groups throughout the college’s service area have<br />

committed to attending.<br />

it's an experience.<br />

packed with fun and games and give-a-ways that promote health<br />

education while performing assessments of fair goers regarding<br />

their own health such as blood pressure, stress levels, heart rate,<br />

respiratory health, and much more.<br />

“This is an event that benefits students in Health Sciences, but it<br />

also provides an avenue for the general public to learn about ways<br />

to get healthy and stay healthy in a fun environment for free!,” said<br />

Robin Harris, Dean, Health Sciences and Wellness Programs.<br />

“The partners that dedicate their time to this event each year<br />

help raise awareness about the contributions that they make to<br />

our community’s physical and mental health each and every day.<br />

Working side by side with us is an important part of educating our<br />

students about interprofessional collaboration and the importance<br />

of knowing and mobilizing the resources of their community to<br />

help those in need.”<br />

Everybody wins at this wellness fair – so we encourage everyone<br />

to come out and join us!<br />
