Brooks County High School
Students Sponsor Health Fair for BCHS Staff
Brooks County High School’s General Medicine Class and Health Occupations Student Association (HOSA) club members helped coordinate a Health Fair for staff members at BCHS. The students wanted to let the teachers know that they care about their health. Brooks County Hospital provided the staff and supplies to do free cholesterol and blood sugar tests. The Brooks County Health Department provided staff with health brochures and Paul Welch from Chiropractic Works in Quitman did five minute neck and back massages for staff. The General Medicine Class and HOSA students did blood pressures, took temperatures, and staff weights and BMI. There was a great turnout with staff and the students would like to thank everyone who worked and participated. Zinda McDaniel is the Health Occupations Instructor at Brooks County High School.
