PUTNAM COUNTY (WLIO) - An annual event returns to help Putnam County senior citizens with their health and well-being.
Putnam County Senior Expo brings together senior citizen agencies, organizations, and non-profits as well as private businesses geared to helping seniors in their lives. The expo features health screenings, medication disposal, and a number of exhibitors showcasing a wide range of services. For the past two years, they took a smaller version of the expo on the road because of the pandemic, and organizers are happy to see everybody return to the one-stop shop at Ottawa Elementary.
“Today the turn out has been wonderful,” says Jenelle Herrera, Community Services Representative, Meadows of Leipsic. “We weren’t sure what to expect. We did Senior Expo on the Go, where we provided meals and information at several of the Meadows campuses last year, which was a good turnout. But we were unsure of what today would be, but we have had a wonderful turnout and we can not complain.”
The Putnam County Senior Expo has been going on for about 14 years and is hosted by Putnam County Homecare & Hospice, Putnam County Health Department, Putnam County Council on Aging, The Meadows of Kalida, Leipsic & Ottawa, and the Ottawa Senior Citizens Center.
