Moffitt tells WGIL this is a helpful way for senior citizens in the area to have their questions answered and needs met by professional healthcare facilities.

“Obviously, with aging population, I want to make sure residents of our area have the latest information and know what type of care, what type of information, what type of programs are available,” says Moffitt.

Moffitt says if its one thing that the guests leave with, it would be the information needed to contact the professionals in the future.

“If you don’t get all your questions answered today, you will have people that you can contact, you’ll have offices and phone numbers, emails, where you can get a hold of people that can have the information that you’d want,” says Moffitt. “This is a starting point of how to access different types of programs involving real health issues for seniors.”

Moffitt adds the attendance is usually high at these fairs and he was pleased yet again with the turn out.
