Oakwood University's Praise Station WJOU 90.1 FM along with Good Samaritan Hospice, hosted its second annual Community Health Fair on October 23, at the Millet Activity Center.
More than 60 vendors were present to provide diabetes screening, BMI Testing, dental consultation, flu shots, healthy product presentations, voter registration, other health screenings, affordable care act counseling, senior citizens info, home health care services, and healthy cooking demonstrations.
"This health fair event is our gift to the community," said Reginald Hicks, general manager and director of WJOU. "It's very important to know how healthy you are," he added.
This year, event organizers also awarded scholarships to Oakwood University students in the areas of communication, allied health and nursing. "Not only do we want to make sure we let the community know about health, we want to help students out as well who are going into these health and communication-related fields," said Hicks.
