After being canceled in 2021 and delayed earlier this year, Beebe Healthcare’s Rehoboth Community Health Fair returned April 10.

A variety of vendors and community organizations offered health and safety information for all ages. In addition to the vendors, Beebe’s Population Health team provided free health screenings for blood pressure, cholesterol, blood sugar, bone density and body mass index. The National Kidney Foundation provided kidney function screenings.

A number of Beebe doctors presented during the event. Dr. Christopher Manieri talked “Successful Weight Loss with Bariatric Surgery.” Dr. Joyce Robert presented “Let’s Talk About Family Medicine.” Dr. Katie Johnson and Chaplain Paula Waite discussed “Advance Medical Directives.”
