UBC Community Health Fair

The health fair was a success!  Cora Palmer, Margaret Konieczny, and Judith Shehan were joined by Doneta Gathings at Uptown Baptist Church on Saturday, October 15 for a day of blood pressure screenings and health education.  The wonderful, diverse people of Uptown were excited to participate!  The fair also provided cholesterol screenings, blood glucose monitoring, HIV screening, massage, vision and hearing screening, and information on breast cancer, mental health, Social Security, lead testing, drugs, healthy lifestyle, and dental health.  AMSN is already signed up to participate next year!  For more information on AMSN's community outreach projects, contact Margaret Konieczny.
