A health fair gives you the opportunity to reach out to people about their health and well-being. By bringing health professionals and lay people together, a health fair educates people about health, prevention, and the resources that are available to them in their community. A health fair can include exhibits, mini-workshops, demonstrations, screenings, etc. Plan a health fair in October for Child Health Month - or at any time of the year. In addition to educating people about health issues, a health fair offers several benefits for sponsors and exhibitors as well.
Pediatricians can use health fairs to focus specifically on children's health issues.
Through a fair, they can help parents understand when and why children should receive pediatric care, and they can inform parents that pediatricians are knowledgeable about a wide variety of both non-medical and medical issues.
