- 2007 Wellness Conference participant

Held Friday, May 18, 2007, in UK's Student Center, this year's conference brought in attendees from Lexington and surrounding counties. The day began with a health fair, which was followed by two morning sessions. A healthy "local foods" lunch was provided, and between the two afternoon sessions participants enjoyed a mid-afternoon exercise break. In addition to all the information they received from the presentations and health fair, each participant was given a copy of "Healthier at Home," a home reference manual for what to do in emergencies, when to call the doctor, and how to take care of everything from diaper rash to dental care, headaches to heart disease.
