Community Health and Wellness Fair

2013 Central Road,Baton Rouge LA 70807

27 April, 2023

Description

Councilwoman Chauna Banks and the SU Agriculture Center SNAP-Ed Programwill host a Community Health and Wellness Fair. The health fair will include free health screenings, physical activities, community resources, and much more. The goal of the health and wellness fair is to connect the local community with resources that will enable them to lead healthy lives. The All of Us Research Program is a historic, longitudinal effort to gather data from one million or more people living in the United States to accelerate research and improve health. By considering individual differences in lifestyle, socioeconomics, environment, and biology, it is the hope that researchers will one day uncover paths toward delivering precision medicine – or individualized prevention, treatment, and care – for all of us. The SU Ag Center serves as an engagement partner for the All of Us Research Program by bringing program awareness and education to historically underrepresented communities in our state. For additional information about the Community Health and Wellness Fair, contact Jasmin Mathews, Assistant Specialist for Public Health at the SU Ag Center at 225-771-4456 or [email protected].
