Community HealthCare System (CHCS) invites the public to attend a Health Fair and Community Baby Shower on Saturday, October 4, 2025, from 8:00 to 11:00 a.m. at the Onaga Community Hospital.
As a special part of the event, guests can enjoy a complimentary breakfast and visit with CHCS CEO John Fitzthum and Board Chairman Justin Boswell. Breakfast will begin at 8:00 a.m. and is open to all attendees until the food runs out.
“This event is a celebration of health, family, and the relationships we’ve built with our communities,” said Fitzthum. “We’re proud to bring people together for education, connection, and a little fun too.”
Low-Cost Lab Screenings Help Detect Health Issues Early
In addition to giveaways, baby shower activities, and health resources, CHCS will offer low-cost lab screenings for just $35, with the option to add Vitamin D for $20, and men can add a PSA (Prostate-Specific Antigen) test for $20 as well. Learn more here!
Lab work plays a vital role in identifying potential health issues before symptoms arise. Routine screenings like cholesterol, blood sugar, and complete blood counts can help detect early signs of conditions such as diabetes, heart disease, or anemia — allowing individuals to take action before problems become serious.
“Preventive care is one of the best ways to protect your long-term health,” said Jes Hipp, CHCS Director of Clinics. “These affordable lab tests provide a quick snapshot of your overall health and can spark important conversations with your doctor.”
Event Highlights Include:
- Free Health Fair Admission
- Complimentary Breakfast with CHCS Leadership
- $35 Lab Panel with optional $20 PSA Test and Vitamin D
- Community Baby Shower with gifts and parenting resources
- Health & Wellness Booths featuring local professionals and service organizations
