Thanks to all the volunteers who made this year's Health Ministry Fair such a wonderful success!

We had information tables containing Health Issues from Healing: Heart, Mind, Body and Soul, as well as a Flu Clinic, nurses, occupational and physical therapists, a pharmacist, a medical social worker, a dentist, a massage table, nutritional table and a kid's table.

Please contact Colleen Asher at 517.546.0090 Ext 117 or asherc@stjosephhowell.com for more information on how you can be a part of the Parish Health Ministry.

~A special thank you to Dr. Vassallo's practice who were available to give the flu shots to.~
