LIHU‘E — McDonald’s Restaurant employees had a gamut of information to select from Wednesday, as the Kaua‘i office set up a community health fair at the Kaua‘i War Memorial Convention Hall.
Ruth Johnson, the McDonald’s Human Resources manager, said the health fair was supposed to be primarily for McDonald’s employees
But they decided to open the event to the community, as well, she said.
Services included free keiki car seat inspections, smoking cessation programs, hospice care and dental care, as well as financial planning, job skills training and more, represented by local agencies and service providers.
Johnson said the day-long event coincided with employee shift changes, which meant there was ample time for community residents to also take advantage of the resources available.
Participating organizations included the Kaua‘i Community Federal Credit Union, State Farm Insurance, Atlas Insurance, Secure Horizons with information on Medicare and Medicaid, the Kaua‘i Independent Food Bank, Kaua‘i Family magazine, Kaiser Permanente, Kaua‘i Valley Medical Center, American Heart Association with its cardio-pulmonary resusitation model, Ho‘ola Lahui Hawai‘i, Hawai‘i Dental Service, Goodwill Hawai‘i, Hale ‘Opio, Kaua‘i Veterans Memorial Hospital and West Kaua‘i Medical Center, Tobacco-Free Kaua‘i, People Attentive to Children, Kaua‘i Hospice and Holus Dana, LMT.
