The Dixon Center will be packed with people, booths, displays and information on Wednesday, April 12. The career fair is not returning; this time it is a health fair that will fill the athletic facility with commotion. Information, screenings and free samples will be available from 11 a.m to 3 p.m.

Area doctors will provide spine screenings and foot screenings. Integrated Diabetes Service is scheduled to offer glucose screenings., and other organizations will have cholesterol and dermascan screenings.

There will also be treats available for those people less interested in finding out how healthy or unhealthy they are.

Chair massage will be provided by Massage and Aroma Therapy Holistic Care, and Fresh Fields will supply samples of healthy foods that are available at its stores.

Cabrini's sports science department is scheduled to do fitness testing. Students will provide flexibility, body compo- sition, blood pressure, muscular strength and muscular endurance testing

Some peer educators and Karen Pollack, Cabrini's health educator, will also be in attendance at the health fair.

"We are doing alcohol screenings, and we will have a lot of information on important health related issues available. People can drop off their core surveys, and we will have more to fill out or they can just come by to talk to us, get any information they may need," Jamie Matozzo, a sophomore and a peer educator, said.
