Beaumont, Troy Invites Veterans to Free Wellness Fair in Rochester Hills
The Heart and Vascular Services department at Beaumont Hospital, Troy will host a free Veterans Wellness Day Fair on July 31.
“As a team, we promote heart-healthy lifestyles as well as preventive care,” said Jenna Mallard, exercise physiologist, Cardiac Rehabilitation, Beaumont, Troy. “With so many returning troops coming home to America, we thought it would be an excellent idea to provide a free health screening for them as well as veterans of all ages.”
The free event will be from 9 a.m. to noon, Wednesday, July 31, at Beaumont Health Club, 1555 E. South Blvd., Rochester Hills, which is near Beaumont, Troy.
Veterans can expect:
- baseline vital checks
- education about nutrition, stress and exercise
- a consultation with a Beaumont Health Club nutritionist or Heart and Vascular exercise physiologist
Registration is not required. For more information, contact Mallard: 248-267-5656 or jenna.mallard@beaumont.org.
Get the City Mobile App
The new mobile app for Rochester Hills keeps residents informed with features such as the Alert Center, News Flash and Notify Me. It offers three calendars, to keep users in touch with parks, public meetings, and in the community.
Additionally, hiking the trails just got easier with the interactive mapping tool.
This app works both ways. Let the city know about a pothole with the Report a Concern feature. Just snap a picture with a mobile device and notify the city instantly. It will even map the location using the device GPS.
