Letter To The Editor

Commended:
Dear Editor,

The Byhalia Family Health Center is to be commended for sponsoring a health fair to benefit this entire area.

Lab tests were performed, information on maintaining good health through exercise and wise food choices, plus encouraging preventative health practices were available at no cost. Each participant was better informed and encouraged by this generous gift to our community.

The focus of the Byhalia Family Health Center was to assist us in raising our standards to protect ourselves and to depend on the health center for the medical care we need to accomplish our goal. Mission accomplished!

Thank you
Gene Leonard
