FSCJ North Campus to host free health event

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Florida State College at Jacksonville, in partnership with Men’s Health Coalition and the Duval County Health Department, will host a free health and fitness fair Saturday.

Often, children and adults don't get the health or dental care they need because they simply can't afford it. But the three groups joining together for Saturday’s Health-up Family and Fitness Fair hope to help change that. 

The event is focused on educating the community about serious health-related issues and prevention by offering free screenings, along with activities for all ages.

The following services will be offered for free:

• Student physicals (bring required paperwork and get those sports' physicals early)
• Dental cleanings (children up to age 12)
• Hands-only CPR training
• Health information and resources for everyone
• Ophthalmic services
• Diabetic retinopathy screenings
• Vision screenings
• Strabismus screenings

The event will be held from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. at FSCJ North Campus.
