As a healthcare professional, you are in a unique position to help the people in your community achieve better health. What better way to help a larger number of people than by sponsoring a community health fair?

Today, more than ever, individuals and whole communities need help, particularly when it comes to healthcare. Many communities across America are suffering with 10%, 15% and up to 20% unemployment. Money is tight, even for those who are still employed. Regardless of their financial situations, they still need good health care. They need:

• Free blood pressure screenings
• Free body fat testing and weight loss advice
• Free BMI and bone density screenings
• Free advice about their aches and pains
• Free balance and postural assessments
• Free health and fitness assessments

Some practitioners work with other healthcare professionals to cover all aspects of healthcare during the health fair. For example, PTs combine forces with orthopedic, physical medicine and rehabilitation and occupational medicine specialists, massage therapists and chiropractors – practitioners they have referral relationships with – to add greater value to the health fair. Often, a simple press release to local newspapers, radio stations and TV affiliates will provide you with enough free advertising to draw people to the event.

Consider a community health fair for your practice to bring lapsed patients back, and to introduce potential new patients to your excellent care.
