An estimated 25 agencies that serve Logan County are participating in the event, including Community Action Head Start, Chestnut Health System, St. Clara’s Manor, Family Guidance Center and the Butterfly Project (Children’s Home and Aid).

They’ll distribute giveaways, such as water bottles and hand sanitizer, and information to help county residents improve their health.

The Logan County Department of Public Health will administer the flu shots. Individuals wanting a flu shot should bring their insurance card. For people without insurance, the cost is $60 for ages 6 months to 18 years old, $55 for 19 years old and older, $95 for a high dose for 65 years old and older.

Lincoln Memorial Hospital (LMH), formerly Abraham Lincoln Memorial Hospital, will give away free colorectal cancer screening kits, which participants can take home.

Colorectal cancer is the second leading cause of death among cancers that affect both men and women, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Survival rates for colon and rectal cancer are nearly 90 percent when the cancer is diagnosed before it has extended beyond the intestinal wall, according to the American Cancer Society.


For more information, call 217-605-5008.

The LMH Community Health Collaborative and Logan County Department of Public Health are presenting the expo and flu clinic.
