Heather Smith with Walgreens in Amory said it’s important for people to know about services that are available closer to home.

“I just think, just knowing that there are so many people in our community that are here for them, that they may not know about. You know, just on their own, just getting out, seeing what all there is that we have to offer”, said Heather Smith, manager of  Amory’s Walgreen’s.

This was the first time for the Monroe County Health Fair, but organizers are looking to make it an annual event.
