DCSMEC received this notice from the Office of Risk and Benefits Management:

Good evening, Roly,

I hope this email finds you well. As previously discussed, I wanted to share the details of this year’s upcoming wellness health fairs. We just finalized the participation of the last vendor providing screenings, so I was unable to send this information sooner. I wanted to ensure you have a complete overview of all scheduled sites.

As you know, each year we bring wellness health fairs to all maintenance sites, offering employees the opportunity to meet with vendors, gather valuable information, and receive biometric testing along with additional health screenings.

The health fairs have been scheduled as follows, with all events taking place onsite except for MSC 4 (Redland). Due to renovations at the school, the MSC 4 fair will be held at South Dade Senior:

• MSC 1 – TOYS
  12525 NW 28th Ave
  Friday, July 11
  Location: Training Room, second floor
• MSC 2
  2925 NW 41st Street
  Tuesday, July 15
  Location: Cafeteria
• MSC 3
  15301 SW 117th St
  Friday, July 18
  Location: Training Room and Outside Hallway
• MSC 4
  24600 SW 159 Ave
  Tuesday, July 22
  (Held offsite at South Dade Senior- Cafeteria)

The events will feature all our current vendors, biometric screenings, and health coaches who will assist with the Tanita scale, providing not only weight measurements but also body water composition and wellness age assessments. Additional services will include DermaScan (skin cancer screening), fruit refreshments, and massages.

All sites have been informed, and promotional posters have been posted. We are excited to bring these valuable services to our employees once again. The events will run from 7:00 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., with setup beginning at 6:00 a.m.

Please let me know if you have any questions or need any additional information.

Appreciate your support and thanks.

Happy Fourth of July! Today, we celebrate the Declaration of Independence and the birth of the United States of America. It’s a time to reflect on the values of freedom and independence that our nation was founded upon. Enjoy the festivities and take a moment to appreciate the freedoms we often take for granted. DCSMEC hopes you have a safe and happy holiday.
