Senior Health Fair called a ‘great success’
The annual Senior Health Fair held on May 17 at the Citrus Heights Community Center drew more than 200 people from the region and 62 exhibitors, according to lead organizer Jayna Karpinski-Costa. Highlights from the event included two workshops, “Fall Prevention” and “Alzheimer’s,” being packed to capacity, as well as a 103-year-old attendee winning a $25 gift certificate for being the oldest person to attend the event. She said the only glitch was ordering coffee for the event from Starbucks, which ended up not being ready for pickup and resulted in having to wait “while they brewed the 100-cup container.” The annual health fair is put on by the Sunrise Old Auburn Road neighborhood association, which Karpinski-Costa leads, along with help from the city and the Residents’ Empowerment Association of Citrus Heights. Dignity Health this year also joined the City of Citrus Heights and Republic Services as a sponsor. Next year’s fair is scheduled for May 16, 2019.
