Geisinger Commonwealth School of Medicine students plan virtual health fair

The 2020 Steamtown Health Fair will go on - virtually. According to student planners, gift bags filled with educational resources and other "goodies" from local health and wellness businesses which will be handed out by participating organizations. Bags will be distributed from Tuesday, Oct. 13 through Saturday, Oct. 17 while supplies last.

Please check geisinger.edu/gcsomhealthfair for updates on where to pick up a bag.

"While not our typical health fair format, this will still be a fun, free way to learn about health, wellness and the resources that are available to you in the community," said ___

In addition, instead of the health fair's gift basket raffle, GCSOM students have chosen to help promote donations to several local organizations. If you would like to donate to any of these organizations, you may do so by following the links listed below:

Bread Basket of NEPA

Meals on Wheels of NEPA - You can also text "meals" to 64600
