State Senator Terri Bryant and State Representative Dave Severin will team up on Friday, September 27, in Mt. Carmel at the Mt. Carmel Senior Center from 9:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. for a free Senior Citizens Health Fair. This will be the second such event hosted by the lawmakers in 2024 and the first they have held in Mt. Carmel.

Rep. Severin stated that multiple local health care and senior services vendors will be present to provide free health screenings and information on various services.

“This free senior citizens health and wellness fair is an opportunity for local seniors to connect with vendors and senior services and to meet with their legislators face to face,” Rep. Severin said. “I’m happy to join with Senator Bryant to continue to connect with seniors in our district, let them know their legislators are working for them, and to provide them with free health screenings and important information.”

Senator Bryant expressed her hope for a strong turnout of seniors taking advantage of the available health screenings and educational information.

“This is the first time that Rep. Severin and I have hosted a Mt. Carmel senior fair, and we are very much looking forward to it,” Bryant said. “Door prizes will be awarded to attendees from the various health care and senior service vendors in attendance.
