"We were very pleased by the successes of last year's event where over 1,500 members of our community participated and benefited from the services offered. The goal of this festival is to reach out and serve the health needs of our neighbours regardless of financial circumstances and to render the necessary preventative care and the appropriate follow up. In addition, we will provide the latest health education so that our communities will live healthier and more fruitful lives."
