Health Fair in Opa-locka!

This past weekend, we had the pleasure of joining Short Chef, the Hispanic Coalition, local chapters of the Links, Inc., and War on Poverty, Florida for the first annual Health and Nutrition Fair at Nathan B. Young Elementary School in Opa-locka.

 

 Healthcare and wellness stakeholders from around the community participated providing information about diabetes & nutrition, blood pressure and cholesterol examinations, on-site HIV testing, and more!   Local families that spent the day with us enjoyed fresh produce courtesy of the Links and a lively zumba fitness workout for all.

Students from both Nathan B. Young and Dr. Robert Ingram Elementary School faced off in a friendly and nutritious "Iron Chef" cook off organized by Short Chef himself. 

We had a great time meeting so many people committed to a healthier community including but not limited to Miami-Dade College's Medical Campus, Florida Memorial University, Miami-Dade County Public School Board Member Dr. Wilbert "Tee" Holloway, Miami-Dade County Commissioner Audrey Edmonson and all of it was hosted by Mr. Raymond Sands, Principal of Nathan B. Young Elementary. 

Miami is getting healthier and we are thrilled to be working with so many people to make that happen.
