Beebe Healthcare will welcome the community to its annual Frankford Health Fair from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., Saturday, Oct. 14, at 7 Main St., Frankford. Registration is not required, there is no cost to attend and a complimentary lunch will be provided for all attendees.

Representatives from Beebe’s Community Outreach Team will be onsite to provide free flu shots and free health screenings.

Additional Beebe team members and valued community partners will be onsite to offer educational materials on stroke, heart failure, diabetes, home care services, physical therapy services, overdose prevention resources, insurance programs and much more.

From 11 a.m. to noon, attendees can listen to a special presentation: “Would you be able to recognize and react to stroke?” Presenter Thomas Trobiano, DNP, APRM, FNP-C, MAPC, is Beebe’s executive director of cardiovascular and neuroscience services. The talk is designed to help the public understand the signs and symptoms associated with stroke, and how important it is to act quickly by calling 911 if and when symptoms are present.

“We are proud to sponsor the Frankford Health Fair every year, and appreciate the commitment by our Beebe teams and community partners in making healthcare and social care resources available to the communities we serve,” said Bill Chasanov, DO, Beebe Healthcare chief health systems design officer. “These events allow us to put valuable information into the hands of our community, so they know how to take better care of themselves and can access local healthcare services when needed.”
