Almost 700 people from Broward County, Fla., actively participated in Sunrise Church’s 16th Annual Health Fair, with 66 vendors, 51 volunteers, and 554 registered attendees besides those who did not register. Several strategically located white tents in the parking lot caught the eyes of the community.
The fair theme, “The Power of Choice,” struck a chord with the community and served a guiding principle. More than 50 providers set up booths at the highly anticipated fair, with Broward Health’s state-of-the-art mobile health unit van offering free screenings for preventable conditions such as diabetes and high cholesterol, rapid flu tests, and a range of other tests. The University of Miami Health System also contributed to the cause, providing free testing with their mobile onsite unit.
The following medical doctors, all esteemed Sunrise Church members, selfessly provided pro bono service to the attendees: Kaydian Hunter, M.D.; Shaneen Whyte, M.D.; and Dwane Cole. Other medical professionals included Dorothy Shaw, pediatrician in Broward County with more than 45 years of experience; and Winston Bliss, M.D., obstetrician-gynecologist in Broward County. They also had the invaluable support of other medical officials: Tankia Boxhill, ARNP; Thelma Campbell, CNM; and Pochette Cosma, CRNA.
The impact of The Power of Choice Health Fair and Week was significant. The community’s active participation made the event a success. Thompson, senior pastor, expressed his appreciation by saying, “I want to congratulate Nurse Cavell Burke, health ministries director; Fred Chambers, elder; and team for their professionlism and excellence. The outcome was terrific.” He also commended Belinda Cole for producing a first-class pictorial health fair magazine capturing the essence of the event.
