Everyone was in good spirits celebrating Community Board 11 Health and Social Services Committee’s third annual Health Fair on Sunday, April 29 at Bronx House. The lifesaving fair featured dozens of screenings, demonstrations and giveaways from vendors such as Montefiore and Jacobi hospitals, NYC Health Department, NYC Human Resources Administration and many other local health facilities and agencies.
Grow NYC’s Guramrit Labron provided guests some fresh food for thought.
