Dutchess Community College Health Fair

On Wednesday, March 26th between 11am and 2pm, Dutchess Community College hosted a local health and wellness fair. Multiple vendors set up tables in the Greenspan cafeteria for the community to view. Practitioners of yoga, Reiki, Aikido, Karate, reflexology, and massage therapy were available to discuss, and in some cases demonstrate their modality of healing. Other displays provided handouts relating to diabetes, your heart, and general health. Students from the ESW (Exercise Science and Wellness) program had fliers available, and volunteers from Donate Life America talked about organ donation in New York State.

The Francis U. and Mary F. Ritz Library's display focused on resources available in the library for researching and finding out additional information about health and wellness.

Stop by the library for your copy of "Wellness Begins at the DCC Library" flier. Databases that are available on and off campus, e-books, and selected websites are shown. The fliers may be found at the Reference desk.
