Healthy Archuleta
A date to highlight in your calendar right now is Oct. 21. On that date, our community will experience a unique event — the Archuleta Health Fair and Expo.
This is the first ever event of this nature sponsored 100 percent by our local community — Healthy Archuleta, the Archuleta County Public Health Department, the Pagosa Springs Area Chamber of Commerce, our local health care provider community, Labcorp and more.
The event will begin early, at 7 a.m., with low-cost labs and connections with local health care providers with the primary objective of reaching community members who experience barriers to primary preventive health care.
It will continue through until 1 p.m. with presentations, workshops and activities all in support of physical, mental and nutritional health as well as food demos from local chefs, visits with on-site wellness vendors, a farmers market, and a farm-to-table luncheon.
The organizers extend an invitation to all who are interested in joining this remarkable demonstration of community spirit and effort as a sponsor or as a volunteer at the event to visit the Healthy Archuleta website, https://www.foodcoalition4archuleta.org/archuleta-health-fair-and-expo.html, for more information, or send an email to fsfearchuleta@gmail.com or call (401) 206-4579.
