body might be in and what to do to keep it healthy or f
where to go if there are any problems, the Winston-Salem r
Urban League will offer a free health fair for the public t
Saturday, June 9, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Mt. Zion
Baptist Church. j

Senior Citizens in Community Service Program. "But
what we want to do ... is maintain our health, get ^
healthier and if we have any health problems, seek out t
the right information and proper resources." q
Saturday's health fair at Mt. Zion on Ninth and File
streets will offer free screening for blood pressure, dental
hygiene, lead poisoning, hearing, sickle cell, glaucoma
and many more, says Mack. There will also be exhibits by
the Winston-Salem Police Department, Fire Department
and the Southeast Winston Rescue Squad Inc.
All screening tests will be administered by qualified
physicians, nurses and other qualified medical personnel.
For the kids, there will be a balloon give-away and if
accompanied by an adult, a consenting signature on the
fair's registration form will allow them to take advantage
of the screening. Mack says other features will include a

The Urban League pooled all the fair's volunteer paricipants,

follow-up is so important.
"I wanted the follow-ups," she says. "It defeats your
purpose to tell someone what their health problem is and
it remains the same because their was no follow-up."
