Chapel Ridge’s ninth annual health and wellness fair for seniors will be held from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Wednesday at the personal care home at 200 St. Francis Drive in Bradford.

The event is free and open to the public.

Statistics show that seniors who are well-informed about potential health issues can control them and live a longer, healthier life.
