Join us for a free, fun and informative Health Fair at our Medical Plaza in Buford, offering something for the whole family!

September 21, 2024 | 10 a.m. - 2 p.m.

• Advance care planning - Talk to NGHS advance care planning experts about the steps to take to assure you maintain control of your health care.
  • Plan in a can - A Plan in a Can is a simple tool with an outstanding function. This recycled tennis can acts as the container for storing vital health information and personalized necessities for an unplanned trip to the hospital. Stop by and pick one up for you and the members of your family.
• Car seat education - Installing a car seat can be pretty intimidating, so let the experts break it down for you. Expecting and existing parents are invited to bring your car seat (along with the manual) and join us for hands-on exercises and an in- depth car seat safety review
• CPR classes - Also known as Hands-Only CPR, this training could help you save a life! It’s easy to learn and doesn’t include mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. Participants will not receive certifcation upon completion.
• Flu shots - Stop by the Urgent Care office and get your flu shot. September is a good time to be vaccinated against influenza. No cost with most insurance or $5 for cash pay patients.
• Health screenings:
  • Afib/Heart Murmur screenings
  • Thyroid neck screenings
  • Skin cancer screenings
  • Vascular screenings
  • Podiatry screenings
• STOP THE BLEED® training - Did you know that the #1 cause of preventable death after injury is bleeding? A bleeding injury can happen anywhere. Learn three quick techniques to help save a life before someone bleeds out.
• Talk with a doc - Chat with our expert providers.
• Teddy bear clinic - Bring your kids and their teddy bear (or other stuffed animal)! The Family Medicine team will be on hand to “stitch” loose seams, listen to heartbeats, “splint” broken limbs, check blood pressure and more!
• Falls and home safety equipment assessment - We will be performing Timed Up & Go tests, 30-second chair stand assessments, 4-stage balance tests, Grip Strength and Functional Reach tests. We will also have experts on hand to talk to visitors about equipment and ideas to help fix the hazards for every room/area in your home that could cause you to fall
• Medication review -  Medication reviews help prevent the dangerous and costly consequences of taking medications incorrectly or mixing certain drugs and supplements. Bring a list of your medications or bring in the bottle and visit with PharmD (Doctor of Pharmacy) degree students from PCOM School of Pharmacy. Pharmacists are very knowledgeable about how medicines work and interact with others. If concerns are noticed during the review, you’ll be able to talk to your physician about it.

Come enjoy all of this and more as we celebrate our time in Buford!
