MONASTERY HEALTH FAIR
Saturday October 13, 2018, 10:00AM to 2:00PM
THE HEALTH FAIR OFFERS FREE MEDICAL SCREENINGS

Screenings begin at 10:00AM and registrations end at 2:00PM

With the collaboration of a generous team of medical professionals, doctors, nurses, medical technicians, and volunteer staff, all friends of the monastery, the monastery aims to help empower the residents of our community-at-large to take charge of their health.
The main objective is to increase health awareness by providing health screenings, activities, materials, demonstrations, and information. The health fair targets area residents. However, there are no boundaries when it comes to participants.
The Rockdale Medical Center joins us again with their community outreach initiative offering free blood screening that covers many areas as listed below.
