Annual Community Health Fair
“Catch the Wellness Wave”
Building a Healthier Future for Our Community
NY Friends of Haiti 2010 (NYFOH) proudly hosts its Annual Community Health Fair, “Catch the Wellness Wave,” a free, community-wide event dedicated to improving health outcomes and promoting preventive care for individuals and families across Long Island and Queens.
Designed to respond to ongoing public health challenges, the Health Fair brings together trusted healthcare providers, community-based organizations, and local partners to deliver essential health education, screenings, and direct access to vital resources—all in one welcoming, accessible space.
Why the Community Health Fair Matters
Many families face barriers to healthcare, including lack of insurance, limited transportation, language access challenges, and insufficient information about preventive care. These barriers can lead to preventable illness, delayed treatment, and long-term health complications.
NYFOH’s Community Health Fair addresses these gaps by:
Increasing awareness of disease prevention and early detection
Connecting residents directly with healthcare professionals
Providing culturally responsive health education
Reducing obstacles to accessing care and support services
By meeting people where they are, NYFOH helps empower individuals to take proactive steps toward healthier lives.

Health screenings (blood pressure, glucose, BMI, vision, and more)
Preventive care education and wellness counseling
