Encountering Wellness in the Community 5.0

Reach Up, Inc. will host its 5th annual health fair in partnership with the Carnegie Free Library of Swissvale on June 22, 2019. Organizations from the local community who provide health information and services will be invited to participate as the goal of the health fair is to involve the entire community. Attendees will have an opportunity to learn about MedlinePlus and NIH Environmental Health Sciences from the National Library of Medicine through informational sessions held during the health fair. Emphasis will be on bringing awareness to the availability of health information through technology using Smart phones, tablets and personal computers. Information on NLM resources, local agencies and health education materials from NLM and other NIH agencies will also be distributed during the health fair.
