Metro Health Fair
Care1st received many positive comments about the Health Fair we sponsored on May 7 at the Metropolitan Skills Center in Los Angeles. Over 400 people attended. Many obtained one or more of the free screenings sponsored by Eli Lilly and Company.

The screenings offered were for blood pressure, blood sugar, total cholesterol, HDL, and bone density. Additionally, Health Educators presented ½ hour seminars on nutrition, women’s health and men’s health. Brochures covering many health topics were available for attendees. The “Spin the Wheel” game was a popular activity. Participants could spin the wheel to choose a health question. If the question chosen was answered correctly, the person would win a prize.

Additionally, Planned Parenthood, PALS for Health, Korean Health, Education, Information and Resource Center, Didi Hirsch Mental Health Center and Ketchum-Downtown YMCA provided information on Health and Community Resources. Also, children enjoyed a puppet show sponsored by the Metropolitan Skills Center.
