LCS HEALTH FAIR
Tuesday 11 & Wednesday 12 October 2011
10 AM – 1 PM
The semi-annual Health Fair offers various health screenings, lab
tests and presentations from medical and health professionals. Open to
all Lakeside residents and LCS members, so please take advantage of
these health services and seminars.
This year’s Health Fair, under the auspices of the LCS’s new Health
Program Manager Hebina Hood, will include the traditional screenings
as well as vendor booths occupied by healthcare providers including
Lakeside and Guadalajara hospitals and clinics, physicians,
pharmacies, spas, fitness centers, organic health stores, insurance
agents and retirement and convalescence facilities.
The representatives will be available to answer your questions and
share tips on how to live a healthy and active lifestyle. Many free
health care screenings will be available, including blood pressure
checks, diabetes testing and hearing tests. Various cancer screenings
as well as lipid profile and HbA1c tests will be offered by Care Lab.
Lake Med Pharmacy will be offering pneumonia, tetanus and flu shots
for a small fee.
Two lectures offering specific health information for Lakeside
residents will be presented. On Tuesday, Dr. Bernie Metcalf will
discuss “Immunizations for the Elderly”. Dr. Metcalf, who specialized
in family practice and emergency medicine in Arizona before retiring
to Lakeside, will discuss considerations for seniors relating to
various immunizations, as well as specific recommendations for living
full-time in Mexico.
On Wednesday, Erik Slebos will present “End of Life Planning: Four
Essential Documents.” Erik’s specialty, thanatology, is the science of
the social and psychological aspects of death, dying and grieving.
Erik provides guidance to individuals and families relating to end of
life issues, as well as proper arrangements individuals and family
members can make in preparation for the last phases of life.
There is no entry fee for the Health Fair and all Lakeside residents
are encouraged to attend. You can find a complete schedule on LCS’
