Seniors over the age of 50 who come out to the festival will have an opportunity to receive health screenings and resources as part of Touchette’s Senior’s I.Q. (Improving Quality) Program. No individual will be turned away; all are welcome to attend. Health insurance is not required.
“Our primary goal is to ensure that healthcare is accessible to everyone in the region,” said Felecia Jackson, Community Outreach Specialist. “Holding this annual festival at the Clyde C.
