Griffin Hospital’s Mobile Health Center will be making several appearances at the Shelton Farmers Market on Canal Street over the next few months, providing free blood pressure readings as well as health information on a variety of topics including breast cancer awareness and sun safety.

The Mobile Health Center is a custom built Winnebago that travels to various locations throughout the Valley, such as senior centers, shopping plazas, companies and community events to offer free preventative health services and promote well-being in the community.

It is scheduled to be at the farmers market from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Aug. 11, Sept. 8, Oct. 13, and Nov. 3 Health information offered by the Mobile Resource Center will focus on a specific topic each week, but staff will be available to discuss any health questions.

“Griffin Hospital is person-centered. We promote prevention and wellness in addition to medical treatment. We look forward to meeting everyone and enjoying the fresh and healthy food available at the Farmers Market,” said Margaret Sessa, RN, of the Griffin Hospital Community Outreach Department.
