Rotaries Hosting Diabetes Health Fair

The four St. Croix Rotary Clubs are joining together to present the First Rotary Diabetes Health. The fair is the first event on St. Croix as part of a larger Rotary District 7020 diabetes education and prevention three-year project. The goal is to prevent diabetes and help those already diagnosed to minimize the effects of uncontrolled diabetes. Blood glucose, cholesterol and blood pressure testing will be available. Plessen Ophthalmology will be doing screenings for diabetic retinopathy. A limited number of flu shots will be available, and there will be information on diabetes and immunizations, particularly adult vaccines. And the Diabetes Risk Test will be available for those who do not have diabetes but may be at risk.
