BATON ROUGE — More than 45 health, wellness and community organizations participated in a community outreach fair on Saturday at Capital Area Human Services and Aetna’s Better Health of Louisiana Community Health Fair.
The event offered residents free boxes of canned food, turkeys, fresh fruit and health resources.
Residents had the opportunity to receive free screenings, vaccines, Narcan kits and gift prizes. The district’s 40-foot mobile clinic was also on site alongside a team of professionals representing mental health, addictive disorders, and developmental disabilities to help answer questions and provide support to participants.
“By collaborating with trusted organizations and local community health centers, we’re meeting people where they are to provide nutritious food and additional resources to communities that need it most,” said Bridget Galatas, CEO of Aetna Better Health of Louisiana.
This year’s theme was “Your Health, Your Harvest.”
