The Charles B. Wang Community Health Center in Flushing is celebrating National Health Center Week with a summer health fair on Saturday, Aug. 2, at the Skyview Shopping Center.
The event, which will run from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. outside of Sephora on Level 4 of the shopping center, located at 40-24 College Point Blvd., will feature free health screenings, health education and fun family activities. The event offers community members the opportunity to take care of their well-being and come together for a great cause.
“Every National Health Center Week, we are proud to return to our roots with a community health fair that offers free health screenings and resources to all, because we believe that everyone deserves full and equal access to the highest level of care,” said Kaushal Challa, the CEO of the Charles B. Wang Community Health Center.
The free health screenings at the event will include blood pressure, glucose, Hepatitis B, and cholesterol, along with health education and health insurance information. The day-long event will also involve a CPR demonstration by Red Cross CPR-certified instructors and fun kids’ activities like balloon twisting and a temporary tattoo station for all ages. No registration is required to attend the event, and it is free for all to participate.
