The Annual Hispanic Health Fair was held on

April 19, 2009

in the gymnasium of St. Mary School

415 East Eighth Street, New Albany, IN

The Hispanic Connection sponsors the annual Hispanic Health Fair to provide information in Spanish about a wide variety of Health concerns and ways to receive assistance.  The local hospitals set up stations to test blood pressure, sugar level, and other things.  A chiropractor checked many people and offered to give them an initial consulation free of charge.  Other groups answer questions and direct people where they can find medical care and emotional support.  This is a great venue for health providers who wish to reach the Hispanic community. 

Pictures from the Health Fair, 2009   Some of the many people who were tested by the chiropractor   David Cooper from Clark Memorial Hospital and Dana Gerth Nieman from the Clark County Tobacco Prevention group. Students from the University of Louisville Dental School provided information and means to receive treatment in Louisville. Most famillies brought their children, and appreciated a place to rest and have a little to eat. Members of the Providence High School Spanish Club under the direction of Alan Matthews solicited donated bicycles and taught bicycle safety.  Here you can see a young girl who is delighted to have won a new bike!
