Clark Memorial and its Community Outreach Department
offer a variety of health presentations and seminars designed to help educate and
strengthen the people of our community. Whether you're dealing with a specific health
problem or you're interested in prevention, education is the key.

evaluations that give you specific information about your current health. Through wellness
education at Clark Memorial, you can learn how to make healthier choices.
