COVINGTON – Lakeview Hospital announced a pop-up wellness and shopping experience for individuals of all ages centered on health, safety and fall prevention. Nearly 50 vendors will offer free health screenings, interactive wellness education, local shopping, food and beverages, nonprofit engagement, and entertainment. This event is open to the public and will benefit the Lakeview Hospital Fall Prevention Program.
“At Lakeview Hospital, our priority is helping patients thrive at every stage of life,” said Heather Rietschel, rehab supervisor and co-chair of the Wellness & Shopping Pop-Up. “This event gives us the chance to go beyond the clinic and connect with the community in a meaningful way. And while fall prevention is often associated with older adults, our younger attendees will gain a lot from this event, too, especially when it comes to building lifelong habits for strength, safety, and wellness.”
Health screenings will include balance, blood pressure, vision, skin cancer screenings and hand-grip strength tests. Attendees can expect to learn everything from healthy food preparation and gardening tips to stroke prevention, fire safety, mental health, and more. There will also be art demonstrations, IV hydration, chair massages, neurokinetic therapy, and free giveaways. Those who visit at least half of the vendors and get a card stamped will be entered into a drawing for one of six prizes, including an Aesthetic Haus skincare basket valued at $400, Augie Leopold Promotional Products gift card valued at $300, free one-year membership to Crunch Fitness in Mandeville, Flo & Glo IV Wellness Lounge gift card valued at $300, Katie Ulmer Photography 20-minute session with eight digital images valued at $325, and laser hair removal valued at $400 donated by Syn Skin Aesthetics & Wellness. Music will be provided by DJ Super Steve.
