DOVER, Del. — Bayhealth will host a Community Wellness Fair on Saturday, November 15, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Bayhealth Conference Center at Blue Hen in Dover. According to Bayhealth, the free event will offer a range of health screenings, educational resources, and community support opportunities for individuals and families. The fair is open to the public and aims to reach residents who may face barriers to healthcare access, including those without insurance or transportation. No identification or insurance is required to participate.
Available services will include free screenings for heart and vascular health, skin and breast cancer, and blood pressure checks, along with flu shots. Educational materials will also be provided to help attendees better understand preventive care and available health services. In addition to health resources, organizers say there will be free raffles, giveaways, and community assistance options. Highlights include a Mobile Food Pantry operated in partnership with the Food Bank of Delaware, distribution of winter coats, and drawings for grocery gift cards and children’s bicycles
Bayhealth says the event is designed to go beyond typical health fairs by addressing key social factors that impact well-being, including food insecurity and access to medical care. Vendor participation will be limited to Bayhealth departments and nonprofit health organizations to maintain a focused, community-driven approach.
