MEMPHIS, Tenn. — A drive-thru health fair in Whitehaven this Saturday will offer free flu shots and distribute important health information for community members.
The health fair, hosted by Methodist South, will also operate a blood drive for Vitalant.
During the health fair, people can receive information on-site to schedule free mammograms, a service always provided by Methodist South but being highlighted for Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
Methodist's Nursing Officer Ptosha Jacksons said health fairs make it easy and convenient to get checked. She said it also can be life-saving.
“I had a friend who went on site to a mammogram community fair and she actually was diagnosed at one of the community fairs so that’s why I’m more passionate about it," she said.
