Today, one group in Floyd County honored the color pink but in a different way. The Floyd County Health Department hosted a women's health event and focused on all the issues women face. As public health shifts towards population focused health, us and collaboration with community partners, we wanted to get the information out to the public on ways to make a positive change in their overall health. Kentucky is 44th rank in overall health status and we want to make changes to that. Different groups around Floyd County came together in order to make the event that much more successful. Highlands regionals here doing hemoglobin A1C with big sandy health care and doing cholesterol checks. We at the Health Department are part of a task force to reduce heart attack and stroke in our area. We are taking blood pressures, there's information about immunizations, nutrition and there's passport here, things for diabetes, we have the elite medical group. There's a lot of good things going on here today. Even though the event was focused on women, everyone was welcome to attend. It's called the women's health event but we welcome men to come and see because you know the same problems that are associated with women's health, a lot of those same problems are with men as well. Drinks and refreshments were also served throughout the day for those who attended. Reporting in Prestonsburg for EKB News, I'm Shelby Steele.
