how to get screenings or vaccinations for a health fair? if you have experience with this please please help?
so I am coordinating a Health and Safety Fair scheduled for October 24th (Saturday) in the Houston area zip code 77099. Despite working on the health fair for approximately three months and contacting multiple hospitals and clinics including Texas Children’s Hospital and Community Health Choice, I have not been very successful in obtaining volunteers to administer much-needed screenings. The Houston Police Department and Fire Department will be attending this year’s health and safety fair where they will be demonstrating safety tips. We are anticipating a very large number of people to attend this year’s health fair, as we will be advertising in four different languages. I would be very grateful if you could provide any advice in securing any type of screenings and/or contacts in order for us to start coordinating for the upcoming event. As of today’s date we have only Eye and Autism screenings.
The following are the screenings we are in desperate need of though any and all screenings would be greatly appreciated.
1. Prostate Cancer
2. Hypertension, Diabetes and Obesity
3. Diabetic Neuropathy & Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
4. Bone Density Scanning
5. Physical Rehabilitation
6. Free Flu Shots
7. Blood Pressure Screenings
Thank you for your time!
