While COVID-19 prevented us from having an in-person Health Fair this year, we have still had the opportunity to bring the health and wellness information, giveaways, and fun that defines the OCEA Health Fair to our members in new and innovative ways. If you haven’t taken a virtual tour of the OCEA Health Fair online at ocea.org/healthfair, we invite you to do so.

Swing by the location most convenient to you on your lunch/break or outside your regularly scheduled work hours. Additional distribution opportunities will be announced throughout September, but supplies are limited so be sure to get yours early!
