Spartan Life Radio: NSU's Annual Community Health Fair

With the passage of the Affordable Care Act and other initiatives to improve the health of minorities, underserve populations and all Americans, "persistent and well-documented health disparaties continue to exist among racial and ethic minorities and underserved populations," this from a report by the Health and Human Services' Office of Minority Health. On this episode of Spartan Life Radio, we're talking with Professor Brenda Gould from NSU's nursing and allied health department about its upcoming Community Health Fair . . . an event designed to educate, inform and help people make better choices to improve overall health. This year's health fair will be held on Wednesday, March 2 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. in the NSU Student Center. Participants will be able to get blood pressure and blood glucose screeings, BMI readings, sample healthy snacks, diabetes and violence prevention awareness materials and more.
