About this Health Fair
11 AM to 5 PM
2820 South Myrtle Street
History Behind the ' Road to Wellness' Health Fair?
To be completed.
Why the
target group?
The
fair is focused on the target group as we try to address common
limitations to accessing health care services, which are further
complicated in the African immigrant and refugee community by
language barriers and cultural differences in approaches to health
practices. We will be providing interpreters during the event, and
collaborate with existing agencies for translated materials where
necessary. We are advocating prevention and encourage providers to
provide free screening during the fair. Major issues to be addressed
will be diabetes, high blood pressure, cardiac diseases, asthma,
cancer, TB, HIV-AIDS, mental health, nutrition and dental care to name
a few.
What else
can participants benefit from this College Fair?
Participants
can expect to learn more on how they can best advocate for their
health. They will know where certain resources are and how to access
them. Most importantly, participants will have a chance to get free
screening for a variety of major diseases and establish contact with
their neighborhood clinics.
