Arroyo Grande Community Hospital (AGCH) is proud to present The Power of Prevention, an educational forum and health fair to local community members. This free health symposium will take place on Saturday, October 15, between 9 a.m. and noon at the Clark Center for the Performing Arts, 487 Fair Oaks Avenue, Arroyo Grande. The Power of Prevention symposium will feature a wide variety of important health topics on wellness and longevity and will be presented by expert physicians. Event presentations will focus on the following topics: The Importance of Colorectal Cancer Screenings – presented by Jeffery Mundorf, M.D. Early Detection for Breast and Lung Cancers – presented by Timothy Auran, M.D. Learn to Live Successfully with Diabetes – presented by Michael Lai, M.D. Prepare for the Physical Anatomy of Getting Older – presented by Richard Martin, M.D. How Diet and Nutrition Play a Vital Role in Disease Prevention – presented by Caryn Coffman, M.A., R.D.
“With more than 1,300 San Luis Obispo County residents being diagnosed with cancer each year, chances are that the disease has touched almost every local family,” says Jeffery Mundorf, M.D. “Community members who attend The Power of Prevention symposium will have the opportunity to learn about the latest information on not only cancer prevention, but also on everything from nutrition and diet to physical changes associated with aging. Arroyo Grande Community Hospital has done a superb job of putting together an informative program, offering valuable, in-depth health information to attendees free of charge and I would strongly encourage all community members to take advantage of this unique offering.” In addition to the informative health education presentations, community members will also have the opportunity to discuss health topics with the presenters, receive free health screenings and visit information booths. The health screenings include balance and strength testing and blood pressure screenings; no appointment is necessary. The numerous booths at the event’s health fair will offer information on local cancer resources, nutrition and diabetes, physical therapy services, diagnostic services associated with breast imaging and osteoporosis, congestive heart failure resources and community classes and event information. 345 South Halcyon Road
