Lions Health Fair
Free Health Screening
This year the Kent Lions Club will again offer the opportunity for health screening at Cornucopia Days. Kent Lion volunteers, as well as volunteers from the local medical community will staff a Health Fair tent area and plan to conduct screening for diabetes, sight, hearing and blood pressure free of charge. Children under the age of 18 may require parental consent for diabetes screening, if desired.
The primary mission of Lions Club International is to preserve sight and hearing. Locally, the Kent Lions Club provides more than 40 children and adults with necessary vision exams and eyeglasses each year, usually by referral from Kent School District nurses or Kent Senior Center staff. A goal of the Kent Lions during Cornucopia Days is to provide the opportunity for early detection of health problems so corrective steps can be taken immediately. In 2003, more than 200 people were screened through the Lions Health Screening Van. Though the trademark Van will not be available this year, look for the Health Fair tent section located at the corner of 2nd & Meeker on all three days. Friday only Festival use and volunteers donated by the members of the Kent Lions Club. Our Lion Van will be back in 2005
