STANARDSVILLE, Va. (WVIR) – Dozens of health and wellness organizations worked together to set up a fair in Greene County that would be both fun for families, and an opportunity to conduct simple checkups.
UVA Health and Blue Ridge Health Department were among the many organizations that participated in organizing the fun and educational event.
The fair aimed to help build relationships between the community and health care providers.
Greene Care Clinic MD Amy McElroy says health care providers want their patients to know they are there to help and support them.
“Whether it’s a nurse practitioner, a physician, a nurse can be your best ally in life as far as staying healthy,” McElroy said. “We’re just like you, and don’t be afraid to come talk to us. We want to help you.”
