Saturday health fair draws a crowd
Hospital doctors, nurses, PCAs, phlebotomists and more joined community health professionals on a recent sunny Saturday to help make the 8th annual community health fair a success. Sponsored by Community Health, the fair drew almost 250 participants who received free screenings for stroke, cholesterol, blood pressure, mammography, glaucoma and glucose. YNHH medical professionals gave a mini physical exam to those participants who received an abnormal result on a screening. Here, a deaf woman asked for information about the hospital’s free healthcare van and Shelley Harrigan (right), RN, Adult Primary Care Center, with the help of Maureen Rosselli, deaf services coordinator, Interpreter Services, was able to provide information about the community resource.
