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.
