The
HealthFirst Family Care Center
held its Second Annual Health Fair at its Quarry Street
headquarters on November 19, 2015. "We have a variety of tables on
different topics and fourteen wonderful gift baskets that you can win if
you come down." noted RN Case Manager Jessica Millet. "I am
going to be stationed at the smoking cessation table. Come and see
me!" The event included a raffle for a
variety of prizes along with tables featuring a blood pressure and cholesterol screening table, a table
featuring the Women,
Infants and Children (WIC) Program, and table for the diabetes
prevention program at the Fall River YMCA.. People were able to visit the
exhibits and talk with a variety of providers as they came to the clinic
for their regular appointments. HealthFirst is a resource for people
struggling through difficult times, whether unemployed, a single parent
or a recent immigrant. Click here for
