Kosciusko Community Hospital employees will be showing their support for community health at this year’s Fat and Skinny Tire Fest. The event runs from Friday, May 15 through Sunday, May 17, in both Warsaw (Friday evening) and Winona Lake (Saturday and Sunday).

Stephen R. Miller, KCH chief executive officer, says, “Our staff has a heart for putting community health first and focusing on health-focused events. The Fat and Skinny Tire Festival is one event that has grown over the years to become a premier community event. We are excited to be a part of it and encourage people to participate.”

KCH, Kosciusko Medical Group and MedStat Urgent Care staff will be at the event and participating in various activities throughout the weekend.

“We’re very appreciative of great partners like KCH, whom have been behind Fat and Skinny Tire Fest for several years. You can’t continue to provide and grow a community event this size for twelve years without supportive sponsors that believe in what you are doing in and for the community. KCH has graciously shown that,” said Greg Demopoulos, Kosciusko County Velo President and Fat and Skinny Tire Fest Planning Committee member.
