AUA HEALTH FAIR : Men’s Health Fair 2015

AUA holds a health fair every semester. This semester we will be holding the Health Fair for the Antiguan police force and teachers. It’s a free service that provides a general check-up for all Antiguans. It’s a great way for us to interact with the Antiguan community and helps us improve on skills we learn in FCM and ICM. Last semester we had a Men’s Health Day, where we had over 200 men who signed up to be seen. We focused on issues such as cardiovascular disorders and prostate cancer.  All AMSA members are required to attend, please make sure to sign up ASAP.
