Uffelman Estates was filled with people on Wednesday July 19. Twenty-eight vendors and nearly 200 people attended their Senior Health Expo.

Dr. Bill Beauchamp was one of the keynote speakers discussing the cause and affect of osteoporosis. In osteoporosis, the inside of the bones become porous from a loss of calcium. This is called losing bone mass. Over time, this weakens the bones and makes them more likely to break. Even though osteoporosis is much more common in women than in men, Dr. Beauchamp was quick to tell the audience that osteoporosis is not a female only disease and that men should be aware the measures available to prevent or slow the progression of osteoporosis.

Melody Walls, Certified Acute Care Nurse Practitioner and Wound Care specialist screened patients for Peripheral Arterial Disease. More than 30 attendees participated in the screening.

The Expo provided educational information for all areas of life, entertainment, food and lots of fun for those who attended. Darlene and Ronnie Peck, Managers of Uffelman Estates plan to make this an annual event. It was a very successful day with twenty-eight vendors and nearly 200 participants
