Health Expo Successful

Residents learn how healthy they really are.

Community Health Group's Health Expo was successful on Sunday as people of all ages gauged their health.

With eight booths testing blood pressure, air flow, cholesterol and other health problems, residents like Bob Abraham of Shrewsbury got to check out their health age.

Once they got through the stations, their health age was determined.
