INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — The 38th annual Indiana Black & Minority Health Fair starts on Thursday.
The health fair will run through Sunday at the Indiana Convention Center in downtown Indianapolis. The Indiana Department of Health is encouraging people to go and to take advantage of free health screenings, resources, and information.
The theme for this year’s fair is Culture of Health, which organizers say emphasizes the importance of bringing people together to improve the health of individuals and families throughout Indiana.
There will be clinicians on site offering free screenings for diabetes, cholesterol, blood pressure, vision and dental. There will also be free breast exams and hearing exams, among other screenings.
Back-to-school immunizations will also be available. Sports physicals will be provided by Community Health Network on a first-come, first-served basis on Saturday and Sunday from 12-2 p.m.
