Wellness expo in Flushing

State Senator Frank Padavan hosted his Fall Community Health and Wellness Expo recently at Saint Mary’s Nativity Parish Center in Flushing, and it was a huge success, according to reports.
Throughout the morning and early afternoon of Sunday, September 28, families and seniors from around northeast Queens were able to access free health services, including testing for blood pressure, glucose and cholesterol, among others.
Shown here, Padavan (center) poses with the Amato family from Whitestone, who seemed to be appreciative of the screenings and information related to health and wellness they received - but especially the balloon sculptures and lollipop.
