Retirees and their family members are invited to Lyster Army Health Clinic’s 39th Annual Retiree Health Fair Friday, Oct. 25 from 8 a.m. to noon at Andrews Physical Fitness Center (Bldg. 4605).

LAHC, along with other outside agencies, will have tables set up to educate retirees on numerous health topics, including disease management, digestive health, physical therapy and nutrition.

Retirees and their family members can also receive their 2013-14 flu and pneumococcal vaccinations.

“The Retiree Health Fair is a great event for retirees and their family members because it gives them a chance to see everything Lyster offers in one room,” said Jeffrey Atkins, licensed practical nurse for Lyster and organizer of the event. “It also gives them the opportunity to meet outside providers we may refer them to for specialty care.”

LAHC will have booths set up for physical therapy, preventive medicine, primary care, laboratory, pharmacy, dental, behavioral health, nutrition care and managed care.

Other agencies attending include the Wiregrass VA Clinic, USAA, Medical Center Enterprise, Extendicare, Digestive Health Specialists, Noland Hospital, Flowers Hospital, Center Drug and Home Health, Eye Center South, ReBath, MOAA, Hearing Associates of Dothan, Gentiva Hospice, SARHA, Southeast Alabama Medical Center, Gulf Coast Dermatology, Dale Medical Center, Bay County Vet Center, Dr. Chancey Dentist, The Terrace at Grove Park, Mentoring and Behavioral Services and Hollowell Chiropractic.

Refreshments will be provided and all booths will have educational information and giveaways to take home.
