INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — The 2024 Indiana Black and Minority Health Fair is underway.

“We keep expressing it’s free, free, free, and there’s not a lot of times when you can get $4,000 worth of free all in one place,” said Director of Minority Health Antoinette Holt. The 38th annual Black and Minority Health Fair aims to address persistent health gaps and promote wellness by offering various free health screenings.
“Everything from a fill lipid panel to your A1C, also to PSAs for men,” Holt said. “We’ll do health screenings as far as vision, dental, and we’ll also have things in regard to mental health.”
Other screenings include blood pressure, cholesterol, diabetes, as well as discussions on various diseases and mental health.
