More than 25 booths providing information, screenings, and interactive materials were available to the community members.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe were very pleased at the success of this inaugural event,&#8221; said Wendy Wells, a college instructor and event co-coordinator. &#8220;It provided a chance for our nursing students to positively impact the community. We look forward to the health fair becoming an annual event.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Working in groups, the students researched, designed and implemented the booths at the health fair.  Each group chose a health or safety issue, designed written information and pamphlets for participants, and provided screenings and activities related to their topic.  <\/p>\n<p>Student designed booths included:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>coronary artery disease;\n<li>smoking cessation;\n<li>distracted driving and walking;\n<li>keeping kids active;\n<li>ergonomics;\n<li>depression;\n<li>immunizations, and more.<\/ul>\n<p>The students also collaborated with other health care professionals including family practice residents, pharmacy students, dental hygiene students, physical therapists and respiratory therapists. The interprofessional collaboration was an important part of the event, organizers said.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Students researched, designed and staffed
