JaLisa Jordan, Program Manager at Live Healthy Spartanburg, shares, “We are thrilled that this event allows us to bring resources and providers to the community and offer screenings completely free. This event is once a year but allows residents to be connected to a medical home with our partners at ReGenesis Health Care to receive various routine health care services if needed. We hope to obtain a healthier Spartanburg by removing one barrier at a time!”
A special thank you to the presenting sponsors for making this event possible: City of Spartanburg, Denny’s, Greater Spartanburg Divine Nine, Live Healthy Spartanburg, ReGenesis Health Care, and Spartanburg Regional Healthcare System.
