Health Fair
Our annual health fair and our mini-clinics are opportunities to empower community members with the right tools to address their health concerns by providing culturally competent preventative care during fairs and mini clinics.
In 2018 the 6th Annual Health Fair and the Othello monthly -clinic provided high blood pressure, cholesterol, Hep C, HIV screenings, vision and hearing exams, pediatric services, CPR & EMS education, nutrition education, and dental care to the community. Besides the free health services and resources provided, the annual health fair also provides invaluable volunteer opportunities to the Somali youth and students who are interested in serving the community and building up experiences.
