Once again, La Clínica is teaming up with other organizations to provide health screenings, education and referral services to over 1500 community members who might not otherwise have access to medical attention.

La Clínica's Eleventh Annual Health Fair is scheduled for Saturday, July 19, 2008 from 10-4 pm. We will offer this greatly needed preventive care in an accessible and fun environment with music and family activities. For many people who cannot afford health care, the fair is the only time their families get needed medical attention.

This year we will provide screenings for cholesterol, diabetes, HIV, vision, dentistry, blood pressure, and immunizations, as well as education on nutrition, asthma prevention, domestic violence and more. Also, the fair will introduce many East Bay residents to the wide array of services available year-round at La Clínica and at other agencies in the area. In previous years, the Health Fair served close to 1,000 children and adults. With increased outreach efforts and staffing, we expect to accommodate over 1,500 individuals at this year's fair. La Clínica's Health Fair is a wonderful example of what we can accomplish when the whole community works together.
