Health Fair 2000 is scheduled for Oct. 13

In financial planning, everyone knows that a small investment now will create dividends down the road. That principal holds equally true for your health: A flu shot in October pays off with every sore throat and runny nose you avoid during the flu season.
Health Fair 2000 will offer a range of such strategies on a variety of health-care issues, from diet to dental care, heart rate to HIV. The annual event, sponsored by the Office of Human Resources, Student Health and Counseling Services and the Student Health Advisory Committee, takes place from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Friday, Oct. 13, in The Gargoyle, in the basement of Mallinckrodt Center.
