Health Fairs aim to increase Access to healthcare

may not speak English or may lack familiarity with Californian health services, we help

Health ScreeningsAt health fairs, our health screenings focus on hypertension, diabetes, hepatitis B, and cholesterol. Certified undergraduate students work with medical and nursing students to conduct health measurements, and UCLA & Kaiser physicians provide free health consultations.
Health EducationWe provide linguistically and culturally appropriate
health education to clients at health seminars and health fairs, including recommended screening and early detection examinations.

Social ServicesTrained undergraduate students will conduct social
histories with clients. Undergraduate and public health students perform eligibility screenings with clients for enrollment in public benefit programs, and for referral to local low-cost/free, linguistically appropriate clinics. 
Follow UpIn alignment with our mission of long-term care, we
follow up with clients (via phone and/or email) after their health fair visit. Client navigators maintain contact with clients to ensure they follow through with health recommendations, such as obtaining clinical services or referring to health resources. Public health students will manage client files in accordance to HIPAA guidelines. |
