“The purpose of this fair is to address women’s physical, mental, and emotional health,” Berrios said. “As an elected official, it is my duty to bring needed resources and services directly to our community. Over the past several years this event has helped hundreds of women.”

Attendees will have the opportunity to receive free mammogram and pap smear referrals, free blood pressure, diabetes and cholesterol screenings along with information on accessing state, county and city health programs.
