CASHTON, Wis. (April 6, 2023) – Scenic Bluffs Community Health Centers is excited to host two free Community Health Resource Fairs this spring, one in April and one in May.

English and Spanish speakers will be onsite to assist with questions regarding community health resources. Specific features of these health care events include:
- COVID-19 vaccines and boosters for people 6-months-old and up
- Resources from local organizations on topics such as food, housing, parenting support, senior resources, volunteer opportunities and more
- Health care experts from Scenic Bluffs Community Health Centers who can provide guidance on health insurance enrollment and changes to Medicaid and the FoodShare programs
- Light refreshments
“Accessing health care resources in our rural area can be challenging because our residents are spread out,” explained Jenny Nottestad, Population Health Specialist at Scenic Bluffs Community Health Centers. “By holding these health fairs at go-to-spots in the neighborhood, we are putting vital health care resources together in one place so our community members can access what they need.”
At the Scenic Bluffs Community Health Centers’ free Community Health Resource Fairs, the Pfizer primary series will be available for ages 6-months and older. Pfizer bivalent boosters will also be available for ages 5-years and older. Parents or guardians of the 6-months to 4-year-old age group can call Scenic Bluffs Community Health Centers at 608-654-5100 to schedule a time and place for their child to receive the bivalent booster.
