Community Health Fair


The Health Fair that is usually held at the YMCA in March after the March on Health 5k has been moved to a Clinton High School home football game sometime this fall.

Over the past couple of years, it has been the faculty who have taken on the majority of the planning and coordinating duties for the Health Fair. This year, students will be carrying out the coordination of the Health Fair. 

The main responsibilities will include working with Clinton High School to determine a date for the Health Fair, working out logistics of where the Pharmacy Organizations will set up their tables, and advertising the Health Fair to the Community.  If you are interested in being part of the committee that helps organize the health fair, please email me(jmdias@presby.edu) so I can provide you with more details. This is an excellent leadership opportunity and a great way to help provide health services to the community. 

The Health Fair date and location was changed in an attempt to reach more of the community by going to where the people already are instead of trying to get people to come to us.

For those of you unfamiliar with the Health Fair, the pharmacy student organizations set up tables to help promote healthy lifestyles and screenings to members of the community.  Feel free to talk to the student organization leaders during the Campus Life Fair this week for more information on what each organization offers at the Health Fair.
