Health and Wellness Fair Aims to Revitalize 2024 Resolutions

If you’ve already deviated from your health resolutions for 2024, the Institute for the Advancement of Minority Health invites you to attend their FREE Health and Wellness Fair. The event will be held at Word and Worship Church from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturday, January 27, 2024.  Word and Worship is located at 6286 Hanging Moss Road, Jackson, MS.

Attendees will have the opportunity to undergo blood pressure, glucose, and mental health screenings. Additionally, resources on COVID-19, tobacco cessation, and chiropractic services will be provided. Free HIV tests (in-person and self-test kits) and massage therapy will also be available.

Dr. Sandra C. Melvin, CEO of the Institute for the Advancement of Minority Health, stressed the significance of residents knowing their vital health statistics. "These complimentary health screenings serve as a crucial, initial step towards achieving positive wellness outcomes," she stated.

The event is made possible through collaboration with the Institute for the Advancement of Minority Health, Jackson Free Clinic, Body in Balance Healthcare, the Tobacco Coalition, Southern Health Alliance, CLM, and Word and Worship Church.
