"During this day, we experience the joy of being the best we can be -- what the Lord calls us to be. Just one life being touched and improved makes all the difference. Through that gracious love, we show who Jesus Christ is, and we reflect his love." 

~Health Fair Coordinator, Kathleen Klein

In conjunction with Parkland Hospital, PHPC sponsors an annual fall health fair for the residents of the Vickery Meadow area. The health fair provides screening for diabetes, high blood pressure, and prostate cancer, plus mammography. The fair also provides health education, flu shots, and immunizations. 

PHPC began the health fair eleven years ago. In the beginning, the fair served 200-300 residents. Now the average number of attendees is approximately 1,200. In addition to receiving the services at the health fair, the children who attend get to hand-pick a book to take home. Also, all attendees receive granola bars and bottled water. 

Book Transporting 
Friday, October 28, 4-5:30 p.m. and after the Fair on Saturday, October 29.
