The Layou community showed up and showed out at the recent Health Fair hosted by the Layou Diabetic & Hypertension Group.
Held at the Layou clinic, the event was all about promoting healthier lifestyles and creating access to essential health services. Community members took full advantage of free health screenings, including:
Blood pressure checks
Blood sugar testing
Syphilis and HIV testing
Foot care services
One-on-one consultations with a registered dietitian
In addition to these services, the fair featured interactive games, educational booths, and wellness sessions that made learning about health both fun and empowering for all ages.
The atmosphere was one of unity, care, and positive energy as residents came together to support one another on their health journeys. From the youngest to the oldest shared stories of their health journey and how they overcame hurdles.
