NORTH BEND, Ore. - Providing Coos County seniors with the latest in health care information and advice, the Elder Resource Fair sets up shop at the Pony Village Mall over the weekend catering to all things senior related.

Now in it's tenth year, the fair has become a useful tool for seniors living in Coos County.

North Bend Medical Center Director of Health Resources Kelly Rowe, says the fair is a one stop shop for everything including health care advice, care-giving, assisted living and more.

Organizers say the fair has grown steadily over the past ten years and is an important for South Coast seniors.

"We do have a large population of seniors here on the South Coast and since we're a rural area, sometimes it's hard to get information. So this is a great resource for them," says Southern Coos Health District Health Education Coordinator Mary Kemp.

The Elder Resource Fair is sponsored by the Community Health Education Coalition.
