Sutter Amador Hospital public relations, marketing and foundation Coordinator Jody Boetzer said a community volunteer group and U.C. Davis Rural PRIME students were coordinating the Shenandoah Valley Health Festival to be held on Friday, April 29, from 5-7 p.m. at the Amador Flower Farm.

Boetzer said the Shenandoah Valley Health Festival was a “valuable community event.” She said it is a free event organized by local agencies, non-profit organizations, community volunteers and U.C. Davis Rural PRIME Medical Students.

“There will be booths that provide diabetes education and screening, blood pressure checks, vision screening, vaccinations and more,” Boetzer said. “Information about community resources and health issue will also be available.”

Martha Perez of Jose’s Mexican Restaurant in Jackson will be offering dinner at a nominal charge. The health festival is open to the general public.

The Shenandoah Health Fair will be held 5-7 p.m. Friday, April 29 at the Amador Flower Farm, 22001 Shenandoah School Road in Plymouth, in the heart of the Shenandoah Valley wine country.
