ACCESS Ashland Family Health Center invites the entire community to stop by its Summer Community Health Fair at 5159 S. Ashland Ave. on Saturday, August 12th, from 11 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.
As with past fairs, we invite community residents to take care of their health and learn more about the resources available in their community. Along with free food and entertainment, parents can also prepare their children for the upcoming school year with back-to-school physicals and free school supplies (while quantities last).
Adults can also receive free blood pressure screenings, and women will be able to get breast health information and referrals for Pap smears and mammograms. ACCESS’ benefits specialists will be on hand to assist residents in enrolling into Medicaid and All Kids coverage.
For more information about the ACCESS Ashland Family Health Center Summer Community Health Fair, and eligibility requirements for the school physicals, call 773.434.9216.
