The Fall
River Housing Authority held its annual health and human services fair
for the residents of the Father Diaferio Village on July 9, 2014. Representatives of local health and human service
organizations were on hand to display information, hand out literature
and answer questions for residents of the development. Partners School Wellness Coordinator
Marcia Picard was available to talk with parents and children about the problem
with consuming sugar-sweetened beverages. In
addition to the indoor displays, the Southcoast Hospital health van was
also open nearby to provide free health screenings.
This activity is one example of the many events organized by the Housing
Authority to build community and promote health among over 20,000
residents of public housing in Fall River. Click here for a
