Many other health vendors that will be available at the event for BayCare, Moffit, Hope Chiropractic and P2P Clinical Services.
“There are so many issues surrounding our health and wellness,” said McKesson. “Holding a health expo has been on the heart of our pastor, Charmaine Cousins, and now this is an opportunity for the community to get information on their own health and to participate in basic screenings.”
This event will allow people to come together as a community to prevent sickness and disease and take the first step towards better health.
