The Westside Healthcare Organization (WHO) teamed with University Hospitals Elyria Medical Center last Tuesday to host a Senior Resource Fair that showcased over 20 senior-centered businesses and organizations dedicated to the care and wellness of the area’s Senior Citizen population.

Several hundred professionals and guests joined in at the UH Elyria Medical Center cafeteria to visit the many tables dedicated to a variety of services. Independent and Assisted Living, Memory Care, Home Care, Hospice Care, Skilled Nursing Care and even Elder Law resources were represented

The event was sponsored by the Westside Healthcare Organization, a consortium of senior care agencies dedicated to bringing together resources within the senior/healthcare industry to establish relationships, referral sources and community philanthropy.

“It is a pleasure to team with the Westside Healthcare Organization for this event and bring to the community this opportunity to learn about so many resources,” said UH Elyria Medical Center Outreach Coordinator Paul Forthofer.

Guests had the opportunity to learn more about resources available to seniors within the community, received a free lunch from the UH EMH cafeteria, and enjoyed give-a-ways and gift card raffles.
