In DeRidder, the Beauregard Health System recently hosted the second annual Wellness Without Walls event. Community partners gathered at the War Memorial Civic Center to offer free food, drinks, and door prizes to the public. The purpose of this event was to reduce health disparities and bridge gaps within the community by providing health screenings and educational resources.
Dr. Christian Armetta emphasized the importance of a healthy community, stating that while they do treat chronic diseases, their ultimate goal is to prevent them from developing in the first place. By educating individuals about disease processes, the event aims to empower people to take control of their health.
The Wellness Without Walls event serves as an opportunity for the community to learn about the services offered by Beauregard Health in one convenient location. By bringing together local resources and healthcare providers, it creates a space for individuals to access support and prioritize their health and well-being.
