Aug. 32017

RICHMOND – Richmond Area Health Center will partner with Umberhine Library to hold a poster contest for kids in celebration of National Health Center Week during the final day of the library’s Summer Reading Program.

The contest will be from 2:30 to 4 p.m. on Thursday, Aug. 17, at the library, 86 Main St. Health center staff will be on hand to provide water and healthy snacks, as well as materials to create posters with. The final posters will be hung in the health center’s waiting room. The library will also provide a Slip & Slide with paint for kids. Children must bring their own white clothing as their “canvases” for the Slip & Slide.
The event is being held in celebration of National Health Center Week, which runs from Aug. 13 through 19. This year’s theme for National Health Center Week is “Celebrating America’s Health Centers: The Key to Healthier Communities.” Community health venters serve more than 25 million Americans, a number that continues to grow along with the demand for affordable primary care. Richmond Area Health Center is at 24 Gardiner St.
For questions about the poster contest, call the health center at 207-737-4359.
