INDIANAPOLIS — Studies have shown for years that when it comes to their health, men trail the opposite sex in nearly every category. On Saturday, August 8, Eskenazi Health hopes to change this trend and help men receive the medical attention they need. The 17th annual Men’s Health Fair will be from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Eskenazi Health Center Blackburn, located at 2700 Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. St. As a bonus, free screenings will also be available for women.
Health care professionals will be on hand to answer questions and provide screenings for men and women during the fair. Free health screenings will also be offered, including blood pressure, cholesterol, body mass index (BMI), diabetes, dental, and HIV and STD screenings.
Sponsors for this year’s Men’s Health Fair include Eskenazi Health Center, Marion County Public Health Department and MDwise. Kenny’s Barbershop will once again be providing free haircuts. Call Milton Flowers at (317) 931-4306 for more information.
