More than 300 attend The Chronicle Health Fair By FKLEC1A P MCMILLAN Special to The Chronicle More than 300 people support ed the Chronicle Health Fair, held at the Winston Lake YMCA June 7. Fannie Henderson, advertising manager of The Chronicle, orga nized the event. "We need to take awareness of health concerns in the African-American community - a step beyond our print publica ; tion," she said. Held at the YMCA, she explained, the health fair is a less threatening environ ment than a doctor's office. In this type if setting, clients^ would be more candid about asking ques tions and seeking information from health officials. Marcellette Orange, executive director of the Winston Lake YMCA, was more than happy to - join Henderson in this effort. This ; was an excellent time for this affair * because of the traffic coming through from the Family Fun Walk and the 5k race, according to I Orange. In addition, the Adult I Basketball League began today. - Orange considers the health fair akin to the mission of the YMCA, I I ^ m. ? (left to right) Mary M.

"helping people reach their God ;? given potential in spirit, mind and I body. Being healthy is definitely a part of that mission," Orange said. Three blood pressure screening stations were available to the par ticipants. According to Dorothy Norwood, M.D., an internal medi cine specialist at Aegis Family Health Center, hypertension is one of the major killers in the African American community. Many peo ple do not realize that their blood pressure is high because they may not experience a headache or a nosebleed.

Geraldine Smith from Hospice Community relations is also spreading the word about the prevention of disease. She is pleased that Hospice, Chi F.ta Phi and the WSSU Nursing program are working together. "This is an excellent partnership for the community," Smith said. Robbie Ervin, RN, from the Chi Eta Phi Sorority, shares the same mission as the other organizations. The motto of the sorority is "Service to Humanity." "We are here to serve the community in the area of health," Ervin said. After visiting the various booths at the health fair, partici pants won door prizes. Doug Brendle's Natural Health Superstore designed seven health baskets, which The Chronicle sponsored, containing nutritious snacks and other useful items for maintaining natural health. "We feel it is important to educate our clientele about all areas of health ? medical, holistic and so much more," said Henderson. Other businesses that partici pated in the fair included N.C.
