Community Wellness Festival
The ongoing COVID pandemic means that the
Valley Health Community Wellness Festival is being reimagined again this year. In place of the traditional one-day
event, this year’s festival will be a week of health screenings
held in a storefront in Apple Blossom Mall in Winchester, Virginia from
Saturday, March 19 through Saturday, March 26. This approach will provide our community with access to free and reduced
cost health screenings in a controlled and safe manner. Whenever possible
the screenings will be offered on an appointment basis.
We anticipate offering the following free or low cost screenings as part
of the 2022 Festival:
-
Saturday, March 19:
Blood Testing from Valley Health Lab Services (9 AM - 1 PM, no appointment needed. Guests
arriving before 10 AM should use the H&R Block mall entrance.)
