Fauquier health officials hailed last week’s Community Day as a “huge success.”
About 200 people visited Hospital Drive last Saturday for Fauquier Health’s Community Day. The day included tours, health education, screenings, children’s activities and the opportunity to test drive the da Vinci surgical robot.
Local first responders brought in helicopters, ambulances and fire trucks. The Fauquier County Sheriff’s Office Mobile Command Center was also on hand for participants.
Below are some snapshots from the day.
