Thank you to everyone who joined us at the Yuma Wellness & Care Fair!🧡
In collaboration with the City of Yuma Government and Yuma Sun, we had an amazing day connecting with our community and sharing resources focused on heart health and prevention.
Throughout the event, visitors stopped by our booths for blood pressure checks, chest pain and stroke education and learned more about important topics like sepsis awareness. Our team also helped community members schedule primary care visits on site and register for MyCare, making it easier to stay connected to their care.
We also hosted “Walk with a Doc” sessions, giving participants the opportunity to connect with our providers while enjoying a guided walk focused on health and wellness. The walks were led by Cynthia Brotherton, RN, Myesha Thompson (Onvida Health Wellness Coach) and Dr. Kaitlyn Walter.
We also want to express our gratitude to our featured speakers, who shared valuable information to help our community feel informed and prepared:
• Dr. Preeti Chandra discussed heart health, common cardiac concerns and the importance of recognizing symptoms early.
• Dr. Kaitlyn Walter highlighted the role of primary care, including preventive care and the importance of annual checkup visits.
• Carol Smith, NP, shared life-saving information on CPR and why knowing the basics can make a difference in an emergency.
• Cynthia Brotherton, RN, Taylor Green, RN and Romeo Barcenas, RN spoke about the importance of dialing 911 when someone is having a heart attack and what to expect when calling for emergency care.
Plus, we loved giving away t-shirts and chocolates and having so many great conversations throughout the day.
Thank you for spending your Saturday with us and taking steps toward better health. We loved seeing our community come together!
