The Director of Marketing at St. Mary’s Regional Medical Center Heidi Hughes recently had an interview with EnidLive. She stated her idea of the Fair came to be.
Quoted by Hughes, “During the Covid Pandemic, many individuals placed their healthcare needs on hold. So we saw a need in the community to get them informed on how to get back into taking care of themselves and their families when it comes to healthcare.”
She also talks about other St. Mary locations installed within Enid. Quoted again, “We have multiple locations throughout the Enid area. We also have laboratory centers for lab draws, so if anyone ever needs lab draws we have four locations now. So you can go onto our website at any time and look at those locations.”
Hughes spoke about some of the highlights we expect to see at the fair. “Some of the highlights include our giveaways that we will have there. The screenings and the testings I think are the most valuable things that we will be doing for free there. But we will also have giveaways from our community partners who will have additional information about long-term care, home health, hospice, fitness memberships, health screenings, medical equipment, and a lot more.”
