Annual Westside Health Fair Success

On Saturday, Oct. 20, the Indiana University School of Medicine Internal Medicine Student Interest Group, Wishard Health Services and WTHR Channel 13, hosted the 10th annual Westside Family Health Fair, a Health Beat Health Fair, at Westside Community Health Center, 2732 W. Michigan Street. The free health fair, which is organized by School of Medicine students, was open to the entire community from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.

In addition to the fair, free health screenings and flu shots, a town hall meeting were held during the event with a panel of community leaders and local physicians discussing and answering health-care related questions. The discussion focused on healthcare access with a focus on Medicare, Medicaid and Wishard Advantage. Following the town hall meeting, there was a half-hour question and answer session for Spanish speaking patients.
