St. Dominic helps community 'bone up' JACKSON – St. Dominic Community Health Services participated Tuesday, May 6, in a health event hosted by the Mississippi Museum of Natural Science at LeFleur’s Bluff State Park.
The free health screenings and information were provided in conjunction with the museum’s “Bone Up on Bones” Exhibit which ran through May 11. St. Dominic’s also served as a major sponsor of the exhibit. The St. Dominic Care-A-Van staff provided free bone density screenings for those who attended.
Representatives from New Directions for Over 55, St. Dominic’s senior adult wellness program, and a registered dietitian were also on hand to distribute information on healthy lifestyles.
St. Dominic Commu-nity Health Services is a subsidiary of St. Dominic Health Services and incorporates mainly the outreach ministries which serve the health and wellness needs of members of the community.
Those ministries include HealthLine Wellness Center, the Care-A-Van mobile screening program, New Directions for Over 55, and the Community Health Clinic which serves the homeless and working poor of Jackson’s inner city.
