SVCOA Community Health Day

PITTSFORD, Vt. – Join us for the Community Health Day on Thursday, Sept. 19, from 12-2 p.m., at the Pittsford Recreation Center, located at 223 Recreation Area Road, Pittsford, Vt. Organized by SVCOA in partnership with various local organizations, this event provides attendees with an array of free health services and resources.

Participants can receive complimentary health screenings, including Stay Steadi screenings, consultations, and information on wellness and self-advocacy. The event is supported by several community partners such as MyHealthyVT, VNA of the Southwestern Region, Vermont Food Bank, Vermont Medical Reserve Corps, and more. These groups will offer valuable resources and guidance on topics ranging from nutrition and legal aid, to chronic disease management and community support services. Rutland County Health Partners will offer free health screenings and, in partnership with the Vermont Department of Health, there will be immunizations available for uninsured or underinsured adults. The following vaccines will be offered based on availability at the time of this event: flu, Covid, Shingrix, hepatitis B, tetanus, and pneumonia, as well as free covid test kits.

In addition to health services, a free barbecue lunch will be served to attendees aged 60 and older, courtesy of Pittsford Rec and TRIO. Please RSVP by Sept. 12 to secure your meal. This is a fantastic opportunity to connect with local organizations, learn more about available health resources, and take proactive steps toward better health.
