LOUISVILLE, Ky. – Creating a life of wellness is the goal of the Harambee Nursing Center’s seventh annual Community Health and Economic Fair on March 28 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Presbyterian Community Center.
Those who attend can receive free screenings for blood pressure, diabetes, cholesterol, HIV and cancer and learn about nutrition, exercise and mental health issues.
