Harwich 2nd Annual Health & Environment Fair was a Success!
This past Easter weekend, just in time for Earth Day, environmental and health organizations from around Cape Cod came together to share important information with residents. Hosted by the town of Harwich at the Cultural Arts Municipal Building at 204 Sisson Road, the fair showcased health screenings, health and environmental lectures by local experts, food vendors, fun for kids, and even a yoga class!
Representatives from Barnstable County Department of Health and Environment were in attendance and hosted a table with information on water quality, health education, public health nursing, disease surveillance, and more! The County’s public health nurses provided health screenings including sun safety, blood pressure, glucose and bone density screening, and “Ask a Public Health Nurse” health consultations.
