July 31st, 2013
CHICAGO, IL – State Representative Maria Antonia “Toni” Berrios (D-Chicago) will be hosting her 10th Annual Back- to-School Health Fair on Friday, August 16, 2013 from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. at Haas Park, located at 2402 N. Washtenaw in Chicago.
“My office and I have been working hard to put together the 10th Annual Back-to-School Health Fair for my constituents,” Rep. Berrios said. “This year, I hope to reach out to more families and more students to make all the resources for their education available to them.”
Rep. Berrios’ Back- to-School Health Fair will offer free medical services such as immunizations, vision and hearing screenings, blood pressure screenings, diabetes exams and asthma screenings. Parents will have the opportunity to learn and receive information about City and State services such as ALL KIDS, Kid Care, Family Care, obesity prevention, and dental care programs. Children will also receive a free backpack filled with school supplies, while supplies last. Children MUST be present. There will also be fun raffles with back to school prizes and giveaways. It is important that parents bring their child’s medical health records in order to receive free immunizations.
“Annual school supply shopping can be expensive, especially for parents with multiple children,” Rep. Berrios added. “I am excited to partner with community organizations and private businesses in the area to bring these much needed resources to our community.”
