All Care Health Center to Host Binational Health Fair in Collaboration with 30 Community Partners
All Care Health Center is proud to partner with over 30 local and regional community organizations to present the Binational Health Fair, a free event focused on promoting health and wellness for Latino individuals and families in our community. The event will occur on Saturday, October 5, 2024, from 9 AM to 1 PM at All Care Health Center at 902 South 6th Street, Council Bluffs, IA.
The Binational Health Fair is a part of the nationwide Binational Health Week that has become one of the largest mobilization efforts to improve the health and well-being of Latinos. It is designed to provide attendees with essential health services and information while addressing cultural or language barriers. Through partnerships, services offered at the fair will include free health screenings, including blood pressure, glucose, and cholesterol; free flu shots; stroke assessments; clinical breast exams; behavioral health resources; nutrition and preventative care resources; and more – even an on-site food pantry in both Spanish and English. This event brings together healthcare professionals, educators, and advocates to provide a comprehensive approach to health, ensuring everyone has access to the resources they need to lead healthier lives.
“We are honored to collaborate with such a strong network of community partners to bring this health fair to life,” said Joel Dougherty, Chief Executive Officer of All Care Health Center. “Our goal is to increase access to vital health services for everyone in our community. This event is part of our ongoing commitment to improving the overall health and well-being of the residents of Council Bluffs and the surrounding areas.”
The event will also feature live entertainment by Radio Lobo, numerous giveaways, and a chance to win prizes. Spanish-speaking staff and volunteers will be available to assist attendees throughout the event, ensuring everyone feels welcome and informed. A special thanks to Radio Lobo and the Human Services Advisory Council for sponsoring this year
