We had a great time at the Wellness for All Health Fair this past Saturday hosted by Pulliam-Burton VFW - Post 5456 Elberton, GA and Elberton/Athens Elks Lodge #1100!

The Elbert County FACS Agent and UGA Radon Program Educator enjoyed connecting with community members and sharing information about the health risks of radon and the importance of testing your home.

Radon is a colorless, odorless gas that can be found in any home โ€” and testing is the only way to know your risk. Thank you to everyone who stopped by our booth to learn more and say hello!
