MT. VERNON, Ill. -- Government officials have scheduled a health fair for seniors on Monday. 

State Senator Terri Bryant and State Representative Dave Severin are set to hold the free event at the Rolland Lewis Building in Mt. Vernon on Monday, July 29, from 9:00 - 11:00 a.m. 

Severin plans to have several local health care providers and vendors selling care items for seniors on site for free health screenings and information on services around the area. 

"This free senior citizens health and wellness fair is an opportunity for local seniors to connect with vendors and senior services and to meet with their legislators face to face," Rep. Severin said. "I'm happy to join with Senator Bryant to continue to connect with seniors in our district, let them know their legislators are working for them, and to provide them with free health screenings and important information."

Health care and senior services providers at the event will bring door prizes. Additionally, seniors will receive free donuts, fruit, juice and coffee.
