Spread the Word! Sidewalk Recruitment Fair at Early Head Start on Monday!

I visited the Health Federation of Philadelphia’s Early Head Start Program today and you will be reading all about it next week. While I was there, I learned that a sidewalk recruitment fair will be held this Monday, June 11th, from 11 AM until 3 PM. HFP Early Head Start is located at 4606 Frankford Avenue. Their mission is supporting parents as they support and provide for their child’s growth and development. The Frankford location serves families in the 19124, 19120 and 19122 zip codes. There is a PreNatal Program for women who are pregnant and parents up to the age of 30 with children newborn to 3 years of age are eligible for this extraordinary program providing services that parents and very young children need. This program provides services based on a parent’s need.

Please share this information with anyone who might be eligible and interested! Stop by and say “Hello” as all the staff I met today were very warm, welcoming and would love to assist you in the challenging job of being a parent! Tell them you read about it in the Frankford Gazette!

Frankford Community Health Fair a HUGE Success

In case you missed it, on Friday, June 1st, Health Partners, Aria Health, and the Frankford CDC teamed up to put on a great Frankford Community Health Fair right in Aria’s parking lot. Representatives from a variety of health and human service organizations came out and spoke with over 100 Frankford residents about how their organizations can assist them! Health Partners performed 85 BMI and blood pressure screenings, and the Philadelphia Hepatitis Outreach Project tested 16 individuals for Hepatitis C.

We also spent the afternoon dancing – Health Partners helped make sure we all got moving! See below for video of some of Frankford’s finest dancing, and for some pictures we snapped throughout the event.

We’re planning to organize another Health Fair next summer, so stay tuned for details – but don’t wait until then to get your regular health screenings from your doctor! And meanwhile, enjoy the photos and videos below! As you can see, we danced our way through the afternoon – and plan to keep dancing all through the summer!
