Nursing students sponsor Health Fair | Eastern North Carolina Now

Press Release:

    The Associate Degree Nursing students at Beaufort County Community College sponsored a Health Fair recently at Adamsville Church of God. The Health Fair gave church and community members the chance to learn more about ways to prevent common health problems or reinforce what they already knew about ways to stay healthy, according to BCCC's Director of Nursing Kent Dickerson.

    Health Fair participants could visit displays about nutrition, diabetes, Alzheimer's disease and other health problems. They also received information about water safety and the proper installation of child safety seats. Participants could also receive blood pressure checks, among other tests. Health Fairs are just one of the public service projects performed by BCCC nursing students throughout the year.

    Beaufort County Community College is a public comprehensive community college committed to accessible and affordable quality education, effective teaching, relevant training, and lifelong learning opportunities for the people served by the College.
