Dr. Eric Waldo, Kosciusko County health officer, said, "The Kosciusko Community Wellness Fair is a result of three major health systems — Goshen Health, Lutheran Kosciusko Hospital, and Parkview Health — coming together to provide essential screenings that would not otherwise be available. This collaboration is truly for the greater good of our community. We also recognize the vital contributions of Bowen Health Center, Health First Kosciusko, Kosciusko Chamber of Commerce. Live Well Kosciusko, and Parkview Warsaw YMCA, which is once again hosting the event."
The event is supported by K21 Health Foundation. Additional funding to support this event has been provided by: Bowen Health, Fort Wayne Recovery, Health First Kosciusko and Parkview Warsaw YMCA.
