Oakwood's radio station WJOU 90.1 FM partnered with the Good Samaritan Hospice in Madison, AL, to produce a Community Health and Wellness Fair on October 30, 2013, as promoted on WAFF TV.
Objectives included increase awareness of good health practices, and provide free health screenings to attendees from all over Greater Huntsville.
Local establishments and businesses shared information about self-care, senior care and resources, chiropractic care, physical therapy, financial management, and housing opportunities.
While welcoming attendees to the campus, President Leslie Pollard reminded everyone that
one of the ways in which Oakwood University helps transform lives is promoting the principles of good health and disease prevention. This follows the spirit of what we find in 3 John 1:2 ("Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, (...)."
Kenny Anderson, Director of Multicultural Affairs from the Huntsville Mayor's office, read a proclamation from Mayor Tommy Battle, declaring October 30, 2013, as "Oakwood University, WJOU and Good Samaritan Hospice Health and Wellness Day."
Organizers anticipate that the Community Health and Wellness Fair will be an annual event.
