Thank you to all who attended and participated in the Haines Health Fair on April 25. This event was made possible by a grant from the Chilkat Valley Community Foundation, an Affiliate of The Alaska Community Foundation. Hospice of Haines would particularly like to thank Alaska Health Fair and those who traveled to Haines to help us host the affordable blood screenings and health education including Wendy Carpenter, Denise Schmidt, Kate Slotnick, and Wendy Pangburn.  We would also like to thank our local organizations and businesses that participated.  Thank you to the volunteers who helped with the blood draw.  We appreciate your expertise.  Thank you to the many volunteers who assisted with setup, registration, health education, vision screening, blood pressure checks, health exits, snacks and cleanup.  We are grateful for your time and dedication to your community.  And, a special thanks to Susan Weerasinghe  for co-chairing this event.  

Much thanks,

Shannon McPhetres, Hospice of Haines director and volunteer coordinator
