LMSA Lennox Healthfair 2010                                                February 20, 2010

2010 Lennox Health Fair
Event Description :
The Lennox Health Fair is bi-annual collaboration between the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA and the Lennox School District. The city of Lennox consists of 23,700+ community residents, of which 31.5% had an income below the poverty level in 2007. The majority of residents are Spanish-speaking immigrants from Mexico, Guatemala, Nicaragua, and El Salvador. Basic health services, health education, and preventative health care are lacking in the Lennox community. Our goal is to continue to provide the following pertinent health screenings: physical exams, immunizations, glucose and cholesterol testing and education, hypertension and anemia screening, vision and hearing testing, mammography, pap smears, dental screening and education for all aspects of health care (i.e., HIV, prenatal care, and nutrition). The Lennox Health Fairs are an invaluable service to the community and a great way to help bring health care to many families who may otherwise go without.
