UBC-V: Take a breather with the Travelling Health Fair , Feb. 10 to 25

As you’re reading this, do you notice your breathing? Are you slumped forward, tensed up, or taking shallow breaths? Do you have a lung condition? Each of us takes about 22,000 breaths each day, usually without even realizing it, and many of us are not breathing properly.

In an effort to help faculty and staff breathe easier, the annual Travelling Health Fair launches this February with a focus on lung health. The mobile clinic is a partnership between the Health, Wellbeing and Benefits team and the Pharmacists Clinic, and offers free, voluntary one-on-one health assessments and consultations.

In-person Travelling Health Fair

The free health fair, operating at multiple locations across campus from February 10 to 25, includes:

  • A lung health check-up
  • Information about breathing and the lungs
  • Lung health risk factor information
  • A personalized action plan for optimal lung health
