About

We will participate in a city-wide, public health fair hosted by Newport News public schools. We will provide diabetes, cholesterol, and blood pressure screenings. We may also offer vision screenings. We will offer participatory modeling activities to gain insights into community perceptions and beliefs about the COVID-19 vaccine. Since we will be in Newport News, we will advertise heavily amongst the refugee community, and may offer transportation to recently resettled refugees. 

Students can get CEL hours for this event.
