PLYMOUTH — Speare Rehabilitation Services will host Strong and Steady: A Health Fair for Living Well, a free community event designed to help older adults, caregivers, and veterans live well, stay safe, and remain active. The fair will take place on Wednesday, Sept. 24, from 9 a.m. to noon at the Speare Medical Office Building, 103 Boulder Point Drive, Plymouth, NH.
The health fair will showcase a wide range of resources, demonstrations, and screenings aimed at promoting independence, safety, and overall wellness. Attendees will benefit from free balance screenings to help prevent falls, learn proper mobility, and how to use aids such as canes and walkers, and receive practical active lifestyle tips from Speare’s expert Physical Therapy & RehabFit team.
In addition, participants will have access to essential health screenings and education, including blood pressure checks and stroke awareness resources to support prevention and early detection. Occupational therapy specialists will demonstrate adaptive equipment and strategies to make home environments safer and easier to navigate, while the dedicated “Ask a PT/OT” station will provide opportunities for one-on-one consultations on mobility, pain management, and safe daily living strategies.
The fair will also feature dietary and nutrition information to promote healthy eating habits for long-term energy and strength, as well as financial counseling to help individuals and families plan for the future, manage health care costs, and access support services. Veterans and their families are encouraged to take advantage of on-site veterans’ resources, including information on benefits and community programs tailored to their needs.
Beyond screenings and education, the event will include local wellness exhibitors, free giveaways, refreshments, and community networking opportunities.
The ACHS Portable Teaching Kitchen will also be on-site, offering live demonstrations of nutritious and affordable meal options.
