Local health care providers, vendors, community members, and Chadron State students filled the Student Center Ballroom Thursday.

The Health Fair, which ran from 3-7 p.m., featured 39 health and wellness vendors from Chadron and the Dawes and Sheridan county region.

A few of the health and wellness services featured at the fair were optometry, massage therapy, medical, and chiropractic booths. There also was a law enforcement  booth.

Several of the booths distributed flyers and treats to visitors, while others featured free services and screenings for students.

The Chadron Medical Clinic provided blood pressure readings and flu shots.

Students and community members who visited the fair were able to learn about businesses’ offerings and even make appointments.

The event was co-sponsored by Chadron State College and the Chadron Community Hospital & Health Services and the Lifespan Wellness Team.
