OTTAWA, Ill. – Working to improve the health and wellbeing of area residents, State Rep. Lance Yednock, D-Ottawa, recently hosted the first of his free Community Health Fairs with OSF Healthcare St. Elizabeth to provide various services and screenings to local residents and families.
“I am working hard to ensure that health care is more affordable and accessible for my community, and I was honored to work with local leaders to offer vital services,” Yednock said. “More than ever, it seems as if most Americans just cannot afford ever-rising health care costs, so I want to support initiatives like these to make health resources more widely available. Even services as simple as screenings and insight into healthy living can help community members better prepare for their short and long-term health care needs.”
