On May 22, 2014, more than 90 students and teachers from Veterans Elementary School in Camden visited a health fair run by volunteers from Children’s Regional Hospital at Cooper.
The first and second graders learned about asthma and living healthy lifestyles by sampling a variety of games, activities and exercise. Following their visit to Cooper, the children made posters detailing what they learned at the fair, and the artists of the two top posters in each grade, as voted on by the volunteer committee, received free tickets to a Camden Riversharks game. A multidisciplinary team at Children’s Regional Hospital at Cooper meets throughout the year to plan the annual event.
