2008 Wellness Fair

Lane Community College Cafeteria

The Wellness Fair will culminate Sigma Zeta's work on the Paradox of Wellness.

Businesses, non-profit agencies, and campus departments will be invited to promote and discuss various aspects of wellness. This event is for Lane students and their families to make them aware of services in the community.

Tables will be available, and organizations may staff the tables or present information.

During 2008, the chapter has been researching four specific areas of Wellness & Affluence:

• Health Care Facilities: How does the treament of cancer vary from facility to facility? Are the best treatment facilities available only to certain income brackets?
• Veterans: What are the standards of treatment available to the average Veteran? What are the most prevalent health concerns?
• Sexual Health: How do habits of safe sex vary in income brackets? Also, what is the availablity of acceptable care?
• The Environment and Our Health: What are the current environmental concerns that affect one's health? Do these risks vary by income level?

Chapter members have also been researching the proper disposal of pharmaceuticals and suicide prevention.
