For the first time Sunset Community Health Center will be celebrating its “1st Health Fair and Flu Vaccination Campaign in Yuma” on November 19, 2011 from 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. at the Martin Luther King Jr. Center located at 300 S. 13th Avenue in Yuma, AZ.

This fair is intended to give our community residents an opportunity to receive information on topics which may encourage lifestyle changes, enhance the family’s well being, increase awareness of community resources and improve their quality of life. The event will also include referral information, and booths where different organizations will offer their services to community members who may not know these services exist. Several agencies in Yuma County have already made commitments to participate.

Some of the FREE health screenings that will be provided that day include flu vaccinations for adults and children, muscle and joint pain screenings, mental health screenings, glucose, HIV, blood pressure, cholesterol, height and weight, body max index, among others to be confirmed. Some of the FREE information includes mental health, substance abuse, counseling and advocacy, domestic violence, tobacco, asthma, support for people with terminal illness, medical discount programs for people with no insurance, dental plans for the family, women’s health and much more!!

We encourage the community of Yuma, Somerton, Gadsden, San Luis and the surrounding communities to come and take advantage of the GREAT services that will be provided free this day. Our mission is “to deliver comprehensive and preventive primary care in a culturally sensitive, compassionate and professional manner, ultimately improving the health of our patients and responding to the health and education needs of our communities”.
