A variety of exhibits aimed at helping improve health and wellness will be available at the 13th annual Boise State University REACH Health Fair. The fair is from 10 a.m.-4 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 18, in the Jordan Ballroom on the second floor of the Student Union Building. Admission is free and free parking is available in the garage at the corner of University and Lincoln.

The Boise Police Department is sponsoring a pharmaceutical take back, which will allow attendees to bring in unused, out of date or unwanted medication for collection and proper disposal. The take back is designed to prevent medication from entering the sanitary sewer or landfill. Medications must be in their original containers with labels, although personal information can be crossed out. No needles or medical waste will be accepted.

In addition, hearing screenings, fitness assessments, HIV testing, bone density screening ($25), flu shots based on availability ($28) and giveaways are just a few of the reasons to attend and find out how you can reach for a healthier you. People also are encouraged to bring new or used coats, hats and gloves for “Coats for Kids.”

The REACH Health Fair is coordinated by the REACH Health Promotion Club under the direction of Boise State kinesiology professor Caile Spear. The club invites a select group of exhibitors to participate in the event. Information on a wide variety of health topics, as well as interactive displays, will be available to help participants make better decisions regarding their health.

For more information about the health fair, call Spear at (208) 426-3656 or e-mail bsuhealthfair@hotmail.com. To learn more about the pharmaceutical take back, call Cal Gillis at 426-3999 or Sarah Cordovah at 426-3943.
