Dundee Township Park District

“At this free event, seniors and their families can find valuable healthcare resources and support, all at their fingertips,” said DeWitte. “We are bringing together close to 30 vendors this year that provide health screenings and support from various State agencies. There should be something for everyone.”
Flu shots will also be available, and those who attend can learn about alternative ways to lead a happier and healthier lifestyle. A variety of local vendors will also be on hand to discuss programs and services that benefit seniors. Admission is free and refreshments will be served.
“We expect this event to be well-attended, as we will have several not-for-profit organizations, businesses and medical professionals on hand who focus on improving the lives of senior citizens,” said Sen. DeWitte. “This is a great opportunity for seniors, their families, and their caregivers to learn about services that are available in this region.”
