The Nurses Pub, a community-based organization, will present the “Working Today for a Healthy Tomorrow” health fair in partnership with The Pink Journey Foundation. The health fair will offer a variety of free medical services to promote a healthier community. The community health fair is designed to meet the needs of economically challenged populations with a wide array of medical services and is projected to serve more than 200 residents. With a variety of healthcare offerings including mammograms, COVID-19 testing, blood pressure, and glucose checks, flu and COVID vaccines, as well as eye examinations and on-site glasses, this one-stop-shop will meet the needs of Inland Empire community members. Food services will also be available for the attendees.
According to Mona Clayton, MSN, RN, and CEO of The Nurses Pub, “It is an honor to bring valuable resources in partnership with The Pink Journey Foundation and our sponsors, RadNet Radiology and Imaging, Lestonnac Free Clinic, the County of San Bernardino, Vaccinate All 58 (VA58) and Sigma Beta XI (SBX Youth and Family Services) to the Inland Empire. Adding to our team of sponsors is Mammoth Rx to supply all of our PPE needs. In addition, free COVID testing is provided by funding received from the California Department of Public Health (CDPH). Many individuals cannot afford basic health care and to have incredible partnerships and sponsors on board will help create a healthier community.”
Hosted by the Center for Youth and Community Development, the health fair will be Saturday, Jan. 7, 2023, from 9 a.m. until 3 p.m. at 468 W. Fifth St., San Bernardino, California, 92411. Registration opens at 7:30 a.m. at The Nurses Pub COVID testing site for all participants.
Melanie Lewis, Executive Director of The Pink Journey Foundation said, “The Pink Journey Foundation gladly joins The Nurses Pub for a no-cost mobile mammography opportunity. Our ‘Rolling with Hope’ program is made possible by a generous Hologic grant and a partnership with RadNet Radiology and Imaging who believe in our mission to spread breast cancer education and basic screening mammography to our most in-need populations.”
