AUSTIN, Texas – The City of Austin, Austin Public Health (APH) and the Austin Independent School District (AISD) invite everyone to the FREE Fiesta de Salud Health Fair on Saturday, Oct. 28 from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Palm Elementary School (7601 Dixie Drive, Austin, 78744).
The annual event is meant to inspire our communities to live healthier lives in fun ways. At the health fair, you’ll find live music and entertainment, community resources, health screenings, immunizations for kids and adults and more.
“A good first step to being healthy is staying up to date on your vaccines and knowing your numbers – blood pressure, glucose and cholesterol,” said Austin Public Health Director Adrienne Sturrup. “This free event can encourage our friends and family to get their shots and screenings to help improve their health, all while enjoying some fun.”
Last year, 168 participants of all ages got 131 vaccines, 87 eye exams and 59 health screenings.
