More than 30 stands and displays will be at the annual IT Sligo Health Fair tomorrow, Wednesday October 20th, making it the largest ever Health Fair at the Institute.
Exhibitors from the areas of physical and mental health, and fitness and well being, will display their stands and presentations along the Main Concourse from 10am to 2.30pm.
The event is organised by The Student Health Service and is increasing in popularity every year among staff and students at IT Sligo.
IT Sligo Student Nurse, Eilish Corley said: “In the hustle and bustle of everyday life, it’s not often that people slow down and take stock of their physical and mental health and that’s why we put a lot of effort into organising the IT Sligo Health Fair every year. Your health is your wealth, as they say, and it’s important that people take the time to educate themselves about health issues that may be affecting them or someone close to them.”
