With games, a science show, a fashion show and a performance by an a cappella group, the Fourth Annual Community Health Fair and Festival at the Far Rockaway Church of Christ provided residents of the area, last Saturday, with more than an average health fair. The health fair, co-sponsored by State Senator Malcolm Smith and City Councilman James Sanders Jr. featured exams and screenings such as blood pressure screenings by St. John's Episcopal Hospital and Queens Hospital Center, along with workshops on various topics including Alzheimer's and caregiving by the Department of the Aging. The event also included the distribution of medical information by, among others, Addabbo Family Health Center, Queens Comprehensive Perinatal Council, Inc., the New York Department of the Aging and The Health Library.
