Truman Medical Centers presented the first Touchdown Family Fest (TFF) at Arrowhead on July  16. More than 1,000 attendees received free health services such as immunizations, sports physicals, cholesterol screenings, and  more. Special guests like Olympian Muna Lee and dancers from Denise's Dance Academy gave fitness demonstrations and created a fun family atmosphere. A flash-mob took place to Beyonce's Let's Move! Grandma's Office Catering and La Tropicana provided attendees with healthy and delicious food offerings. TFF was a great event and it showcased the excellent services TMC offers while highlighting the strong relationships TMC has with its community partners. Thank you to all our sponsors, vendors, volunteers, and attendees for making this event a tremendous success!
