    Winter 2018 Health Fair at Westminster Civic Center


    For our Winter health fair, our 70 volunteers were pleased to serve over 135 patients. By collaborating
    with our providers, VCH was able to provide hypertension, BMI, bone density, glucose, cholesterol, and
    many more screenings and services to help alleviate some of the health disparities within the Vietnamese
    community. This Winter, we also welcomed a new screening, Ears to Hear, who helped provide hearing
    tests to our patients. We would not have been able to help as many patients as we did without the
    support of our providers and collaborators, as well as our volunteers.
