OCH Holds Diabetes Fair

STARKVILLE, Miss. – (WCBI) Watch what you eat. Get active. It’s advice people who suffer from diabetes hear all the time.

Tuesday, the OCH Regional Medical Center held its annual Diabetes Fair.

The event featured important health screenings along with cooking and exercise demonstrations. There were also health care professionals on hand and product samples for diabetic patients to try.

“And we put this ‘shindig’ on every year because we want to educate and inform our public about diabetes, that it is a manageable disease, that as long as we control it we have a very fine quality of life,” says Beverly Hammett, Co-Chair of the Diabetes Fair.
This is the 5th year the hospital has hosted the diabetes health fair.
