COURT HOUSE – The 9th Annual 7 Mile Island Home & Health Show held on Aug. 10, was a huge success! The Show hosted 64 home and health vendors at the Avalon Elementary School – the vendors’ colorful and informative displays created an atmosphere of creativity, inspiration and learning.
Returning for the second year was “The Doctor is In” where guests of the show spoke face-to-face with physicians and healthcare professionals from Cape Regional Medical Center in a wide variety of specialties. “The Home & Health Show Committee would like to thank Dr. Monique Scally, Dr. Christopher Zitnay, Dr. Richard Michner, Dr. William Bradway, Dr. Jeffrey Tenner, Dr. Larry Paolini, Dr. John McAllister, and Dr. David Cho for making this event a great success by sharing their expertise with the more than 800 guests,” stated Joanne Carrocino, FACHE, President and CEO of Cape Regional Medical Center.
The Parish Nurse Program at Cape Regional Medical Center provided complimentary health screenings, pulmonary function tests were provided by the Cardiac and Respiratory Care Department and body compositions were provided by the Cardiopulmonary Rehabilitation Department. Paolini Dermatology offered skin cancer screenings; Arthur Childs Medical Home provided massage and the New Jersey Commission for the Blind performed vision screenings. Over 750 health screenings were provided to the attendees of the Show.
Once again the Mid-Jersey Cape Rotary Club supported the day’s activities with their Antique Car Show; which continues to grow in popularity and always draws an enthusiastic crowd.
The Designer House Tour hosted both local and out of town guests and showcased eight of the most magnificent and colorful homes on the prestigious oceanfront communities of Avalon and Stone Harbor, New Jersey.
