Soyland Access to Independent Living has been dedicated to helping people with disabilities gain independence through their services. To further support their mission of independent living, SAIL will be hosting a health fair at the Shelby County Senior Center located at 325 East North 9th Street in Shelbyville, on Thursday, October 5th, from 1:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m.

Betty Watkins has been working as the Out Reach Coordinator with SAIL for 17 years and has held true to their goals. Watkins explained that serving people with disabilities has been rewarding.

The health fair will include many different testing and screening sites and mobility testing. Watkins includes that blood pressure testing will be on site to alert anyone who may need attention.

Watkins said the two-hour fair will give attendees enough time to test for aspects of their health that are most beneficial or visit all the testing sites.

The health fair will be a free event, says Watkins. And information about the event can be found at decatursail.com/.

Betty Watkins appeared as a guest on the WTIM Morning Show from Shelbyville.
