MEDINA – Orleans Community Health has announced the date for its annual spring wellness fair.

“The 2025 Spring Wellness Fair at Medina Memorial Hospital is an excellent opportunity for the community to prioritize their health and well-being,” said Scott Robinson, director of marketing.

The free event will take place from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on April 5. Attendees can access a variety of health screenings and services at no cost, including three informative clinics – Lumps and Bumps, hearing tests at the Eye, Nose and Throat Clinic, and Pediatrics.

In addition to these clinics, there will be several crucial health screenings available, such as ultrasounds for the aorta (to detect aneurysms), carotid arteries screenings (to check for potential stroke risks due to occlusions), ankle-brachial index (ABI) which helps to identify peripheral vascular disease and Echo screenings which provide valuable insight into heart health.

Laboratory testings include Hemoglobin A1c (for diabetes management), Prostate-Specific Antigen (PSA), Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH) and cholesterol screenings. The cholesterol screenings are new this year, Robinson said.

Thanks to a sponsorship by the Greater Rochester Health Foundation, the event is entirely free. This means there will not be a $10 fee for tests, and the pediatric clinic will be distributing bicycle helmets as part of child safety efforts.

This event is designed to give the community easy access to important health assessments and resources. Whether one is due for a routine check-up or seeking specific tests, the Spring Wellness Fair is a great way to take charge of your health this season, Robinson said.

They will also be offering spots for community groups to join in as well.

“We’re holding this event on a Saturday in hopes that will accommodate those who have not been able to attend during a week night,” Robinson added.

Clinics are all walk-ins and no appointment is needed, however, patients still need to register for radiology and laboratory procedures by logging on to https://app.10to8.com/book/ujlltdlinupxwqtekv/.
