According to Reverend Al Sharpton, the Real Men Get Checked Health Fair is a way to
celebrate Father's Day by reassuring your loved ones that your health
is important and that you care enough to seek information about
critical
health care needs."
The Real Men Get Checked Health Fair will bring the "AskDoctorV.com"
interactive experience off-line to provide essential health information
and resources to men in the Harlem community while entertaining them
and
their families. Black men suffer from worse health than any other
racial
group in America! They live 7.1 years less than other racial groups
and have higher death rates than women for all leading causes of
death. For all these reasons, Dr. V's Health Fair is targeting
African-American men along with the sons, wives and
daughters that care about their health.
By providing knowledge about common diseases, screening and access to
affordable health care resources, the Real Men Get Checked Health Fair
helps men and their families easily access, educate and empower
themselves to better handle their health care needs. At the fair, they
will be encouraged to seek sufficient health insurance, medical and
social services that cater to them.
This isn't, however, your everyday health-fair! There will be
activities to attract the whole family. We have arranged for a variety
of national and local vendors to entertain, exhibit and advertise in
the park. Exhibitors will have the opportunity to distribute literature and
answer questions concerning their organization's resources and
services. There is still availability for booths and the vendor cost is
$100.00
