The University of Vermont Health Network - Elizabethtown Community Hospital will host a Mental Health & Wellness Fair next month at both its hospital campuses. The events, which are free and open to the public, are scheduled from 2:00 p.m. - 4:00 p.m. on Monday, May 1 in Elizabethtown and Wednesday, May 3 in Ticonderoga.
