A free health fair where people can learn about community health resources and illness prevention will happen from 6-8 tonight at Southside Boys & Girls Club, 1205 Sixth Ave. S.



The health fair comes after a year of the community health worker project funded by Create CommUNITY to address access to health care among minority communities. The Minnesota International Health volunteers implemented the pilot project with Fartun Hussein, a community health worker with the Central Minnesota Somali community.

Create CommUNITY has extended the community health worker project to mid-January 2010.

The health fair is sponsored by Create CommUNITY, the Boys & Girls Clubs of Central Minnesota, Bernick’s, Coborn’s and other organizations.
