The Senior Citizens of Christian County joined State Senator Doris Turner for a senior fair event at the center on Tuesday. The event provided area seniors the opportunity to connect with organizations, government agencies, and health care facilities and providers.  This allowed senior citizens to stay up to date with available resources and services.  Seniors could also receive flu shots and partake in bone density tests. 

Senator Turner says that community senior fairs help connect area residents with state agencies, health care providers, and local organizations to learn more about vital resources and take advantage of screenings and flu shots.

Senator Turner is hosting senior fairs throughout the district and has one more coming up in Springfield that will take place at the Salvation Army of Springfield from 9-11 AM on Tuesday October 11th.  Last week, Senator Turner was in Decatur. Those who would like to learn more about the upcoming senior fair can contact Senator Turner’s Springfield Office at 217-782-0228.
