Members of the CAHS Prevention and Wellness Team participated in a community health fair, hosted April 18 by the East Baton Rouge Parish Housing Authority and held at the Clarksdale Apartments on Swan Avenue.
“Events like these give us the opportunity to strengthen community connections and promote access to care for individuals and families across the region,” said CAHS Prevention and Wellness Director Bridget Lewis, MS, LPP.
Lewis and her team provided helpful information about the wide range of services offered by CAHS for adults and youth. They also shared tips about healthy living, good nutrition, and the dangers of opioids, fentanyl, vaping, and other health threats.
The health fair gave attendees the opportunity to receive health screenings, learn about nutrition and wellness, explore mental health resources, and connect with community vendors for support and resources.
