Health Fairs
In April of 2012, RCN hosted a 5-day health fair prior to the opening of the clinic. The purpose of the health fair was to screen and educate the community on common chronic diseases such as diabetes, hypertension, high cholesterol and much more. The health fair was met with over 1000 eager participants from the surrounding area as well as nearby towns. This event enabled RCN to collect data from the local residents to design research studies on disease prevalence and lifestyle. The results of this study will help with development of programs that will address the needs of the community and determine the efficacy of our current programs.In April of 2012, RCN hosted a 5-day health fair prior to the opening of the clinic.
