To Your Health & Upcoming Community Events

Last week, Holy Cross Hospital hosted a two-day health fair, To Your Health, offering free education exhibits and preventive screenings. On Saturday, April 20, AAHI took part in Day 2 of the health fair and provided carbon monoxide screenings for participants at its information table, where we displayed helpful materials on health topics and resources for the community in multiple languages. AAHI also used the Wheel of Health Education to inform people on the importance of maintaining a healthy heart.
