• Opinions sought on a Gaithersburg Health Fair

    Harley King wrote to ask for input on organizing a Health Fair in Gaithersburg, this coming December (2007).

    Objectives:

    Increase health awareness by providing health screenings, activities, materials, demonstrations, and information; Increase awareness of local, state, and national health services and resources; Motivate participants to make positive health behavior changes; Provide immunizations for children and adults; Teach self-care practices.

    I would like a strong minority slant to the conference such as Spanish advertising and the availability of translators. I believe Gaithersburg Hispanic groups would benefit most from this kind of conference.

    What do you think? Thank you,

    Harley
