State Senator Terri Bryant and State Representative Dave Severin will collaborate 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 marks the second such event hosted by the lawmakers in 2024 and their first joint effort in Mt. Carmel.

Rep. Severin stated that several local health care and senior services vendors will be present to offer 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 who can benefit from the multiple health screenings and educational resources available.

“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. Free donuts, fruit, juice, and coffee refreshments will also be provided. We’re looking forward to a big crowd and a great event!”
