Health & Wellness Fair at Word and Worship Church
SUMMARY: The Institute will be hosting a health and wellness fair at the Word of Worship Church in Jackson, Mississippi this weekend. The fair aims to address health disparities in the state and will include various health screenings such as blood pressure, blood glucose, and mental health. The event is part of a statewide tour, with the next stop being in Yazoo City. Access to healthcare providers is limited for many people, so the fair aims to make these services more accessible. Free HIV screenings will also be available, and there will be incentives for those who participate. For more information, contact Raymond at raymond@advancingminorityhealth.org.
