The "Salud es Algo Mas: Te Quiero Me Cuido" Community Health Fair took place in October 2011 and was organized by the Let's get Real HiV/AIDS Prevention Program.
Te Quiero Me Cuido means that if we truly love ourselves, family, and friends then we value our individual and communal health. To take this into practice, we linked over 200 community residents to community based and grassroots organiztions offering services on education, immigration, clinical services, and fitness classes.
We maintain a holistic and culturally relevant approach to health and invited cultural groups such as Son De Monton, an all female group performing Son Jarocho, music hailing from Veracruz, Mexico and the Legacy Circle, which celebrates and performs Afro-Caribbean music and dance.
We took charge of our health in all its forms and thank all of the participating organizations, volunteers, and cultural groups!
