CRHS brings screenings, education, and spring themed fun to local seniors on March 26
Tabor City, NC — As spring settles into Columbus County, the Tabor City Senior Center is gearing up to welcome residents for a cheerful and health‑focused community event. The Spring into Good Health Fair, hosted by Columbus Regional Healthcare System (CRHS), will take place Thursday, March 26, from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. at 110 Lynwood Norris Road in Tabor City.
The fair is designed to make preventive care easy, friendly, and accessible, especially for seniors who may not always have the opportunity to receive routine screenings. With no cost, no appointments, and a warm community atmosphere, the event aims to help residents take meaningful steps toward better health as the new season begins.
Tradition Rooted in Access and Prevention
CRHS has a long history of bringing health resources directly into the community, especially in rural areas where access can be limited. Seasonal health fairs like this one began as small outreach efforts more than a decade ago, gradually growing into trusted, well‑attended events that blend medical support with neighborly connection.
The Tabor City Senior Center, known for its welcoming environment and active programming, has become a natural partner in these efforts. Over the years, the center has hosted everything from flu shot clinics to fall‑prevention workshops, always with the goal of helping older adults stay informed, independent, and engaged.
This spring’s fair continues that mission with a lineup of services tailored to the needs of local seniors.
Attendees will have access to multiple free health screenings, including:
– Blood pressure checks
– Cholesterol testing
– A1C screenings
– Glucose screenings
These tests are essential tools for identifying early signs of chronic conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, and heart disease, issues that often develop quietly and go unnoticed without routine monitoring.
CRHS staff will be on‑site to answer questions, explain results, and provide guidance on next steps or follow‑up care.
In addition to screenings, the fair will feature:
– Health education materials
– Raffles
– Give‑a‑ways
– Spring‑inspired decorations and a friendly, upbeat atmosphere
Organizers say the goal is to make health awareness feel approachable and enjoyable, especially for seniors who may feel intimidated by traditional clinical settings.
The fair is funded by the CRHS Foundation, which supports community health initiatives throughout Columbus County. For more information, residents may contact Stephanie Miller at 910‑770‑0376.
With flowers blooming and warmer days ahead, CRHS hopes this event will inspire residents to “spring into” healthier habits and take advantage of the free resources available to them.
