Greenfield Community College to host 2nd annual Nursing Health Expo
GREENFIELD, Mass. (WWLP) – Greenfield Community College (GCC) is inviting the public to its second annual Nursing Health Expo, a free, family-friendly event offering engaging health education, interactive activities, and community wellness resources.
DCR offers free family events during April school vacation week
The expo, scheduled for April 26 from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m., is part of a student-led service-learning initiative designed to promote public health and wellness, while giving nursing students the opportunity to showcase their knowledge and connect with the broader community.
'This is a great opportunity for the community to learn the latest information about safety and healthcare practices and for our students to share what they've learned with the broader community,' said Melanie Ames, Dean of Nursing at GCC.
This year's event will highlight various timely health topics, including CPR techniques, stroke awareness, nutrition tips, sun safety, menstrual equity, and family support services. Attendees will also have a chance to interact with health professionals to learn about career pathways in the healthcare field.
In addition to the educational components, the event will feature hands-on attractions for all ages:
