HSHS St. Joseph’s Hospital Highland is once again partnering with the Madison County Fair to provide a first aid, cooling and health education station at this year’s event.
St. Joseph’s Hospital will have trained health professionals on site at the fairgrounds Tuesday, July 23 through Friday, July 26 from 3 to 7 p.m. each day, Saturday, July 27 from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. and Sunday, July 28 from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. Personnel will be available to treat minor injuries, overheating and other medical issues. The station will be located in the HSHS St. Joseph’s Hospital Pavilion located between the Exhibition Hall and the Food and Beverage Pavilion.
During the first aid station’s hours, fairgoers can also visit the pavilion to cool off from the summer’s heat. The station will be stocked with fans, water, ice packs and popsicles for children.
Health representatives from St. Joseph’s and other health care partners will be sharing education and information about hospital services at the station throughout the week.
Additionally, on Friday, July 26 and Saturday July 27, representatives from Chestnut Health Systems and Gateway Foundation will be providing NARCAN education and handouts, drug/alcohol treatment information and family resources.
While inside the Hospital Pavilion, fairgoers can receive giveaways, as well as enter a drawing to win a $50 Highland Chamber gift certificate.
