Health Fair 2010 is fast approaching!!
Our Health Ministry has been busy planning our next big endeavor which is The St. Francis Annual Health Fair, it will be May 16th, 2010 from 9am-2pm in the St. Francis School gym. We are in the process of confirming vendors and recruiting volunteers to help with this great event! We will be offering free blood pressure screening, free glucose checks, glaucoma screening, dental health awareness, alternative health therapies, therapeutic massage, and much more. If you would like to help with this, please email danaica (at) umich (dot) edu and put in subject line volunteer for health fair. We had a wonderful turn out last year and expect the same if not better this year. Our Health Ministry is committed to promoting health through education and disease prevention, early screening and recognizing signs and symptoms of certain conditions like Diabetes, can save peoples lives and prevent terrible illnesses. Please join me in helping our community stay healthy and educated!
