Healthy A Fair
11am-5pm, Saturday, September 6, 2008

Who
Healthy: A Fair was created by Island residents Dr.Ann Silverman, Section Chief Gastroenterology with Henry Ford Health Systems and Dr. A. Robert Spitzer, doctor of Clinical Neurophysiology and Neurology as a way to increase health awareness for the residents and visitors to Mackinac Island.

What
The key to maintaining one’s vitality, productivity and overall well-being is to adopt the healthiest lifestyle
possible. The better one feels, the more can be gained from life - whether at work, home or play. Healthy: A Fair will make it easy to overcome that hurdle by bringing a health symposium directly to the residents and visitors of Mackinac Island where all can learn about healthy lifestyle habits, how to care for themselves and when to seek professional care.
