Hobbs Pharmacy Hosts Free Health Fair Sept. 29

EVENT SPOTLIGHT
BREVARD COUNTY • MERRITT ISLAND, FLORIDA – Hobbs Pharmacy, located at 133 N Banana River Dr, Merritt Island, will hold its 11th Annual Health Fair on Saturday, Sept. 29 from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m.
This free event is to give thanks to the community for 48 years of support. The health fair will feature many local health vendors which provide health services, screenings and educational materials on important health issues that affect the community.
Health screenings can help prevent as well as treat undiagnosed health issues such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, and osteoporosis. Through routine screenings, many diseases can be detected early and cured long before any symptoms develop.
That is why awareness is extremely important and the key to good health. Hobbs Pharmacy’s FREE health fair is a great service to the community.

This initiative addresses a vital public safety and public health issue and Hobbs Pharmacy is happy to host the Brevard County Sherriff’s Office for this event. Medicines that languish in home cabinets are highly susceptible to diversion, misuse and abuse.
