March 23, 2011: The final installment of the Health & Wellness Series will be held Wednesday, April 6, 2011, from 10 a.m. - 2 p.m. The Belhaven University Health Fair will be an opportunity for Belhaven faculty, students, and community members to converse with health professionals and organizations to help focus on being the healthiest you that you can be. Topics covered will include but are not limited to diabetes, tobacco education, stroke awareness and assessment, occupational therapy, blood pressure, and weight control. You also won’t want to miss a "massage on the go!"
The BU Health & Wellness Series events, which are free and open to the public, contains two key elements. First, are two designated walking trails of either 1 or 1/2 mile in length. Both trails lead walkers through the beautiful Belhaven campus and offer a safe and scenic way to walk your way towards a healthier life. The second component is the unique, educational, and hands-on programs that have been developed to help participants improve their health IQ. Designed to inform you about the fundamentals of a healthy lifestyle, the educational programs are led by experts in a variety of fields and will be enhanced through interaction with Belhaven University Sports Medicine and Exercise Science students and faculty.
