Bravery and perseverance are heroic traits and are also traits of people who are conquering and successfully managing their diabetes. “There’s a Hero Inside of You” is the theme for Spencer Hospital's Diabetes Fair, set for Thursday, Nov. 15. The health fair will run from 4:00 – 6 p.m. at Hope Reformed Church with the first hour a come-and-go health fair format and the last 60 minutes dedicated to a light meal and presentations by health professionals. The fair is for anyone wanting to learn how to make healthier lifestyle choices, not just those who have been diagnosed with diabetes. Pre-registration is required for this portion of the event and there is no cost to attend. Attendees will also have the opportunity to win an array of door prizes.
