On September 30, the local community center hosted a health fair aimed at providing essential health resources to families in the Latino community. The event featured free health screenings, educational workshops, and information booths from various health organizations.
Attendees had the opportunity to receive free blood pressure checks, glucose screenings, and consultations with healthcare professionals. Workshops included topics such as nutrition, mental health awareness, and preventive care, all tailored to meet the needs of the community.
"Access to health resources is crucial for our families," said Maria Gonzalez, the event coordinator.
The fair also provided bilingual resources to ensure that language barriers did not hinder access to vital information.
