It was 20+ years ago that Fr. Virgil Elizondo called a group of health professionals together to plan the first Health and Safety Fair. We are very happy to be able to continue providing you with health screenings, information and follow up referrals to health service providers.
We could not offer these services without the participation of more than 400 dedicated volunteers. These doctors, nurses, health specialists, community volunteers, and students generously offer their time, medical skills and experience to provide today's services.
As Archbishop Patrick Flores often said, "you don't buy your health, you preserve it." The Fair is set up to help you "preserve" your health by providing screenings for many different illnesses from diabetes to cancer.
Early detection of a serious illness can mean the difference in saving your life. Thank you for giving us the opportunity to help you preserve your most precious gift—your health.
