The first University of Toledo Orthopedic Health Fair will be held Saturday, June 2, 2007, in the courtyard on the Health Science Campus.

The fair, which will run from 11 a.m. until 2 p.m., is free and open to the public. In the event of rain, the fair will take place in the Health Science Campus cafeteria.

Hamburgers and hotdogs will be free for all who attend, along with a raffle for Mud Hens tickets, zoo tickets, gifts from the Ottawa Park Golf Course and various other prizes.

“The goal of the health fair is to promote the Orthopedic Department and highlight the services we offer, and provide a fun opportunity for the public and everybody to enjoy free food and prizes,” said Department of Orthopedic Surgery Administrator Katie Treuhaft.

According to Treuhaft, several orthopedic-related companies and departments throughout the hospital will have a table; participants will include Zimmer, Biomet, Stryker, Smith & Nephew, Synthes Spine, GE, North Coast Medical, Celebrex/Pfizer and EBI.

There also will be a casting demonstration for children. For more information on the Orthopedic Health Fair, contact Treuhaft at 419.383.4020.
