The presentations were also streamed in the lab area for attendees to view while receiving the health screenings. Together, these presenters helped create a meaningful, education-focused event aimed at promoting better health outcomes for Decatur County and beyond.
“This event is about more than screenings—it’s about showing up for our community,” said Liz McCoy, DCMH Marketing & Communications Manager. “We want every person to know they matter and that their health is important. Whether it’s early detection, a helpful conversation, or simply feeling supported, the Healthy Fair is one way we come together to care for each other.”
DCMH’s Healthy Fair is a true community effort, bringing together local organizations and a wide range of health and wellness professionals, all with a shared commitment to strengthen access to trusted care throughout our community.
“We are so grateful for our partnership with Decatur County Memorial. Their commitment to meet the needs of the community and innovate to provide exceptional healthcare is inspiring. Our sponsorship of the Healthy Fair is one way we can support their efforts,” said Duke Energy Government and Community Relations Manager.
The health screenings provided at the event were made free for all attendees thanks to the generosity of the sponsors: Honda, Hospital Foundation of Decatur County and its generous supporters, Duke Energy, Aspen Place Health Campus, Napoleon State Bank, and United Fund.
