WSAR Radio
and Southcoast Hospitals Group
sponsored the fourth annual Southcoast Health Expo at
White's Restaurant on
Sunday, March 2, 2008. Several hundred people lined up in advance of the
noontime opening for the chance to visit over fifty healthcare vendors
including chiropractic, dentistry, hearing, holistic medicine and diet
and nutrition providers. As in past years, prizes were raffled off by WSAR Radio
staff and the entire event was broadcast live by the radio station staff
who used the event as an opportunity to do live interviews with many
representatives of the participating organizations. Healthy City Fall
River and the Fall River Tobacco Control program were generously offered
space as was the Diabetes Association, Inc.
