The Kenton County Public Library’s Covington branch will host a free community health fair next month. The event is designed to provide community members with resources for the impending winter season.
The event is organized by an insurance agency called WellCare of Kentucky, which provides managed-care plans for government healthcare, such as Medicaid and Medicare Advantage.
WellCare has already arranged to distribute free winter coats – 100 for kids, 100 for adults – on a first-come, first served basis and is recruiting other organizations to table the event. The organization is hoping to recruit organizations to provide free health screenings. Walgreens and St. Elizabeth Healthcare have already agreed to provide vaccinations and blood pressure screenings, respectively.
The event will take place on Friday, Dec. 11 from noon to 3 p.m. at the Covington branch of the Kenton County Public Library on 502 Scott Street in Covington.
